Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine – Northwest offers an outreach initiative called the DREAM Program to encourage underrepresented pre-med students to pursue a rewarding career in medicine, specifically as an osteopathic physician, to bridge the diversity gap, and to strengthen the patient-physician relationship in healthcare.
DREAM stands for Diversity Recognized Emphasized & Assimilated into Medicine. This program is an immersive three-day experience that provides participants a sneak peek of what it’s like to be in medical school through informative workshops (application process, finance, residency, and personal branding) and hands-on activities (suturing, clinical procedures, ultrasound, and osteopathic manipulative techniques).
This program is free of charge except for transportation to and from the school. Here are a few links for more information about program requirements and the application process:
Program Dates: Monday, August 3rd – Wednesday, August 5th, 2020
Application Deadline: Thursday, April 30th, 2020
