<div class="gmail_quote">Hi everyone, <br> We hope your winter breaks are going well and you're all staying warm!<br> We would like to introduce you to SHPC's <b>Medical Experience program</b>, which enables students to attain a hands-on medical experience for a semester by strategically placing them in various hospital departments; students are able to observe surgeries, shadow doctors, and understand how a hospital works and what being a doctor is all about. <br>
<br> This Medical Experience (ME) program conveniently runs in conjunction with the Hoboken University Medical Center (HUMC), where you will be matched with a resident whom you will shadow throughout their clinical rotations. There are three components of the program that must be maintained upon acceptance: <br>
1) Commit 5 hours/week of volunteering<br>2) Attend rounds during the week with your matched resident<br>3) Be present for surgery viewings<br><br> We encourage all students currently in their sophomore and junior years (Chemistry, Chemical Biology, and Biomedical Engineering majors) at Stevens to apply. Additionally, HUMC requests that all participants have already attended an orientation for their volunteer services. If you have not yet attended an orientation, you must attend a mandatory training session on February 9th at 6pm at the hospital. Details to follow upon acceptance.<br>
We encourage repeat applications from students who have not already participated in the program.<br>
The application for this program is attached. The <b>deadline </b>for submitting the application to <a href="mailto:meprogram@gmail.com" target="_blank">meprogram@gmail.com</a> is no later than <u><b>Sunday</b></u><b><u>, January 9th, 2011</u> at 11:59pm</b><br>
If you have any questions, please contact us at <a href="mailto:meprogram@gmail.com" target="_blank">meprogram@gmail.com</a>. <br><br>Good luck!<br><br>SHPC E-Board and the ME Program Committee<a href="mailto:shpc@stevens.edu" target="_blank"></a>e<br>
