and medical needs. Included in the customized curriculum will be five
integrated health seminars and participation in a summer community health
project (Summer Practicum) in a New Mexico rural or medically-underserved community.

prepare them for their medical studies at the UNM School of Medicine, the
following support services are provided:
- Personalized academic advisement
