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.
