UMDNJ New Jersey Medical and New Jersey Dental Schools
Newark, New Jersey
Overview
The Summer Medical and Dental Education Program (SMDEP)
serves to advance our institution's core mission of meeting society's current
and future health care needs by preparing individuals underrepresented in medicine
and dentistry, and doing so while championing cultural competency and humanism
in all aspects of education. SMDEP reaffirms our continued commitment and involvement
in pipeline initiatives and will allow our two institutions to attain even greater
diversity. SMDEP will also allow us to continue strengthening the academic portfolios
of these college students so that they are competitive candidates for medicine
and dentistry.
