How to Apply

Eligibility

• Medical school students, undergraduates, and high school students are eligible to apply.
• High school applicants must be at least 16 years old by the start of the session.
• A strong interest in the biological sciences and a commitment to community service.
• The professional readiness — maturity, punctuality, communication — required in a hospital environment.

Application Requirements

• Completed application form for your program (Summer Fellowship or Clinical Practicum), including contact information and grade level.
• GPA / transcript: your current GPA on the form; accepted students submit an official or unofficial transcript before onboarding.
• Short essays: brief responses on why you are pursuing medicine and what you hope to gain from MIAP Med.
• One reference (Optional): a teacher, counselor, mentor, or supervisor who can speak to your character and work ethic (name and email on the form). A recommendation is welcome and can strengthen an application, but it is not required — your application is complete without one.
• After acceptance: hospital onboarding and clearances — HIPAA certification, background verification, and institutional intake — coordinated by our team.
• Insurance: every participant must carry their own full-coverage health/travel insurance for the full program period. The program does not provide insurance.
• Pre-arrival packet: accepted students receive a study packet — anatomy foundations, hospital rules, and clinical etiquette — to complete before the session begins.
• Program terms: by applying, you agree to the Program Terms, Assumption of Risk & Liability Waiver.
