MedAchieve Scholars Program

MedAchieve is an after-school medical science enrichment program serving high school students in the Harlem community who are interested in pursuing a career in medicine.  

Throughout each program year, students receive medically focused lectures and interactive laboratory sessions. Each of our students is partnered with a medical student currently enrolled at the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine – Harlem Campus who works alongside them throughout the program and helps guide them in their current and future academic and career goals.

​

The academic goal of the MedAchieve scholars program is to create an applied understanding of basic sciences in the field of medicine. This is taught as a two-year program which mirrors the curriculum of medical school. Our first-year program, called MedStart, focuses on the foundations of medicine – human anatomy, physiology and genetics. Our second-year program, called MedExcel, focuses on how the body responds to stress, injury and disease.
