This program is a visiting student elective in the clinical departments which provides fourth year URiM students from other medical schools with housing and a $1500 stipend for travel and living expenses during their month-long rotations. Funding is provided by the individual departments. The goal of this program is to encourage URiM students to favorably consider WCM for residencies. Participants work closely with the clinical team in the selected department and are paired with a faculty mentor, also meeting with the residency program director. The program was initiated by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion with participation by the Departments of Surgery and Pediatrics in 2017 and we anticipate a larger participation in 2018. For information please contact the diversity office at 646.962.9916 or elo2010@med.cornell.edu
