The IMPRESS Program

Catalog description

The goal of this elective course is to give fourth year medical students the opportunity to assist with the recruitment and teaching of underrepresented minorities in medicine who participate in the “Introduction to the Medical Profession: a Rotation to Empower StudentS (IMPRESS)” program, a 4-week program for students from backgrounds underrepresented in the medical professions. They will do so by teaching college student recruits how to perform basic suturing methods, tying techniques, and laparoscopic moves.
