The Core Program
This Program Is a four-semester sequence that takes advantage of the
natural synergy of topics in physics and chemistry. In addition,
students deepen their mathematical skills by studying / reviewing functions
and graphs in the context of analytical science topics. The Core
Curriculum covers the same curriculum as traditional General Chemistry
(Chem 102, 103, 104, and 105), General Physics (Phys 110 and 120) and Pre-Calculus
(Math 120 and 121). It is specifically targeted for students with
rusty college algebra and trigonometry skills. All the mathematics
is taught in the context of chemistry and physics. Learn the mathematics
and learn to apply it at the same time. The program accepts both
undergraduates and post baccalaureates. So, if you are a premed student
who is CUNY profficient in mathematics, but haven't taken any of the aforementioned
classes, this is something to consider.
The major benefits are:
-
Core members are guaranteed a place in their lab and lecture classes.
-
Physical sciences are learned the way the MCAT tests the material.
-
Individual attention
-
Review mathematics needed for chemistry and physics as you learn the science.

The Hunter College Medical
Linkage Program
Hunter College has an arrangement with 2 medical
schools in New York (Mount Sinai and Cornell), which enables a select group
of Hunter College Premed students to be linked to a medical school while
at Hunter. The arrangement includes spending one summer at the medical
school (after sophomore year), and part time association with that school
during the junior year. Activities include research, clinical experience,
and participation in various public functions at the medical center.
The end result objective will be "early decision acceptance" at the linked
school.
Interested students can obtain more information
and / or apply at the Pre-Professional Office - Room 812 HE.

Prof. Krukofsky to students registered with the Premed Office.

MBRS / MARC
The Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS)
program is a federally supported national program of the National Institutes
of Health. It is intended to encourage and increase participation
of minority students in biomedical research at the undergraduate and graduate
levels. The program provides student salaries for part-time work
as research assistants in experimental research projects sponsored by HunterCollege
faculty members.
The Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC)
program at Hunter College is also supported by the National Institutes
of Health and is also intended to encourage talented minority students
to pursue careers in biomedical research. Students in the MARC program
receive a scholarship and a stipend for conducting research on a part-time
basis in a Hunter College laboratory. Travel funds are also available
to enable MARC students to attend scientific meetings.
Difference between MBRS and MARC.
Only undergraduate students are eligible for MARC.
They are supported for a two year tenure, usually during their junior and
senior years. The financial benefits are greater for the MARC students:
they receive a full scholarship and a larger annual stipend than MBRS students.
MARC scholars are expected to pursue careers in biomedical research rather
than practice medicine, and they should maintain a minimum GPA of 3.2 or
better. MBRS students are often transferred to the MARC program at
the beginning of their junior year.
Application forms for both programs are available
in Hunter's MBRS/MARC office, North Building, Room 314.
The information about MARC
/ MBRS was taken from the MBRS and MARC at Hunter College of the City
University of New York Homepage at http://patsy.hunter.cuny.edu:8001/MBRSMARC/MARCMBRS.html.

The Jonas E. Salk Scholarship
Award
Each year 8 Salk Scholarships are awarded to undergraduates
and graduates of the colleges of CUNY who have received an acceptance for
admission to medical school. Awards are made by the Board of Trustees
of CUNY on the basis of high ability and scholarship, sound character,
interest
in research, an indication of originality, and on recommendation by
the Premedical Committee of each institution. Salk Scholarship is
nationally recognized and carries much prestige for the recipients.
Applicants to medical school who either have a completed research paper
or are currently doing research, are urged to contact the premedical office
regarding a possible nomination. Final decision is made by April,
so apply ahead.
