Premedical Urban Leaders Summer Enrichment Program

Premedical Urban Leaders Summer Enrichment (PULSE) is a six week summer academic enrichment program for undergraduate students interested in pursuing a healthcare profession. Developed by the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU), this program provides academic, clinical, research, and service learning opportunities with a focus on urban health needs.  

The PULSE program helps students become lifelong learners and empowers them to use their knowledge to make a difference in their communities. The primary goal of PULSE is to provide students from underrepresented and/or educationally and financially disadvantaged backgrounds exposure to medical professions. 

PULSE is a full-day program that runs five days per week for six weeks and culminates with the PULSE Symposium. At the symposium, students formally present posters highlighting their summer work or research projects to faculty, family and friends.

Housing is not provided. However, Rutgers-Camden offers dormitory accommodations at a discounted rate to PULSE participants and students may receive a stipend to offset these costs. Rutgers-Camden is within walking distance of CMSRU and is easily accessible via public transportation.
