Scholarly Concentrations are an optional experience that allow you to study a topic of interest without adding time or cost to completing an MD degree. The work required to complete a scholarly concentration is manageable and is completed during the summer between the first and second year of medical school and other less intense times in the curriculum. Enhance your learning experience during your medical school journey by applying.
