Faculty Opportunities

Global Health Teaching, Advising and Mentoring Opportunities

Faculty and students at Tufts University School of Medicine are actively engaged with communities both locally and around the world. Tufts School of Medicine has a number of established programs at global health sites in a number of countries including India, Panama, Ghana and Haiti. Global Health programs continue to expand at Tufts School of Medicine due to the growing interest among students in the graduate and professional degree programs.

Faculty members involved in global health (public health, care delivery, research, education or training activities, etc.) can serve as important advisors and mentors for students planning an experience in global health. In addition to serving as faculty advisors, we also seek faculty members with projects that may have opportunities for student participation (either domestically or at an international site).

Prematriculation Summer Program for Incoming Medical Students (PSP)

The Prematriculation Summer Program has been a part of Tufts University School of Medicine since 1976. The PSP is designed to orient and further prepare students for the first year curriculum.  Course material is directed toward the Basic Science material in the first semester. It is equally as important to offer students early exposure in their careers to observe the doctor-patient relationship in the hospital setting and choices in medicine. PSP offers shadowing during the five week summer program. Faculty members serve as mentors for first year students during the summer. Physicians with clinical responsibilities also provide opportunities for medical students to have observational experiences during the program.

Objectives:

  • To enhance their social interaction with physicians and patients;
  • To develop learning and communication skills with professional attitudes;
  • Increased early exposure to diverse career paths and opportunities;
  • To develop a mentor relationship with physicians.
