The Faculty of Medicine’s Youth Summer Programs (MED YSP) is accepting applications for the 2016 Aboriginal Scholarships. The program runs from July 3 to July 30, 2016, and is open to students currently enrolled in Grade 10 or 11. A modular-based approach allows students to experience a diverse set of four subject areas and flexibility within a career in medicine. The four week-long modules focus on physiology, molecular genetics and forensics, pharmacology and toxicology, and microbiology. Each module features lectures by world-renowned professors, clinicians and researchers, tours of research facilities, and lots of “hands on” activities and more. Each one week, fully-paid scholarship for First Nation, Inuit and Métis students includes room and board at the university residence, three meals per day, academic content, class materials, accommodation, supervision, evening and social events, and transportation.
The deadline to apply is April 8, 2016.
