GEMS 2010-2011
The Georgetown Experimental Medical Studies (GEMS) Program is a one-year post-baccalaureate experience for students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are most likely to make a significant contribution to meeting the needs of the nation’s minority, disadvantaged and under-served populations and, whose disadvantaged circumstances have contributed to modest academic credentials.
GEMS is designed to provide an opportunity for disadvantaged students who show promise of the ability to complete a medical education to demonstrate this ability by passing selected courses taught to first-year medical students at Georgetown University School of Medicine.
In addition to required courses and electives, GEMS students meet in small interactive learning groups daily, participate in facilitated tutorials conducted by our teaching faculty or fellow GEMS students, and are involved in other structured activities designed to increase knowledge, confidence and performance.
Applications for the 2010-2011 GEMS program will be available for download from this site beginning February 15, 2010.
