NYU MiniMeds Program

The NYU SOM MiniMeds program aims to introduce applicable medical concepts to elementary, middle and high school students, in order to increase exposure to careers in medicine. This extracurricular enrichment program targets students from under-served backgrounds.

This will be the inaugural NYU MiniMeds program, which will be coordinated and taught by NYU medical students. The program, MiniMeds, was founded at Georgetown University by a current NYU resident, Dr. Aaron Hultgaren, M.D. This past summer, Aaron was involved in the Mini Medical Camp which was quite successful and an extremely positive experience for all parties involved.

The Hudson Guild has agreed to partner in this effort. Founded in 1895, operating from a mission to empower all individuals and families to achieve their highest potential, while maintaining a priority focus on those in economic need, made this organization a perfect partner for this program. It is located on 26th Street b/w 9th and 10th Avenues, and is a welcoming and modern educational facility.
