In partnership with Northwestern Health Professions Advising and the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, the NU Docs program is designed to prepare promising candidates early in the career journey with the support that they need to successfully apply to and enroll in medical school. The NU Docs programming began with specialty talks from faculty, resident and medical student panels and a panel of admissions advisors. Undergraduate students were also provided first-hand views into the daily life of physicians through clinical shadowing and research workshops. The mentorship and guidance of this program has continued to provide students with the opportunity to excel as patient-centered physicians and future leaders in the medical field.
