Dear Applicant:

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join the New York University School of Medicine Primary Care and Public Health Scholars Program. This program gives you the unique opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, faculty, and mentors who share similar interests and values in primary care, public health, community medicine, and health and human rights. In choosing to apply, you agree to remain in good academic standing and produce a scholarly project fit for possible publication upon graduation from NYUSOM.

You will be assigned to a mentoring group with a NYUSOM faculty member dedicated to primary care and public health. Over the course of your medical education, as your focus narrows, you will be matched with an additional mentor who will assist you in project specific research.

Seminars, pertinent to conducting scholarly work, will begin in April. These seminars will culminate in a two-week community research methods course in June.

Please contact Regina Richter at (212) 263-2126 or by email at regina.richter@med.nyu.edu if you have any questions, comments or concerns. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Warmest Regards,
