SHEMS
Coaching & Mentoring from Leading Doctors
A Unique PreMed Educational Experience For High School Students Unlike Anything That’s Ever Been Offered
Last year nearly 6,000 applicants applied to Queen’s School of Medicine. Only 109 were accepted. With acceptance rates being so low, you need a clear advantage to get a leg up against the competition. PreMedSKL is based on the SHEMS model of showing early and persistent commitment to a career in medicine to doctors on the medical school admissions committees.
Shadowships
Shadowships in 11 medical specialties to teach you exactly how doctors think in the clinic.
