Prehealth Experience

In addition to excelling in the pre-requisite coursework and entrance exam, schools of the health professions expect prospective applicants to have developed a rich portfolio of experiences that have informed their understanding of health care, challenged their intellect, and demonstrated their commitment to others. Prospective applicants are strongly recommended to get involved in clinical experience, research experience, civic engagement, student clubs and organization.

Jiahui x NYU Shanghai Medical Mentorship Program

The Jiahui x NYU Shanghai Medical Mentorship program usually spans 8-10 weeks. Selected students will engage in hospital volunteer work and physician shadowing at Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital. Participants will have the opportunity to shadow across departments. Throughout the program, students will establish mentorship relationships with Jiahui physicians. An end-of-program reflection workshop and a final presentation will be required.

There is no program participation fee. However, students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the hospital, as well as meals incurred during the program.
