High school students who participated in a new community health education program created by a Columbia medical student celebrated their accomplishments at a graduation event.
Medical students at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons shared their research accomplishments and received awards at recent events.
Thanks to the decades-long work of Dennis Mitchell and others, the College of Dental Medicine has led efforts to bring underrepresented minorities into the dental profession.
They started medical school in August 2013. Now, Columbia medical students in the Class of 2017 make the transition from classroom studies to instruction in clinical settings.
Columbia will participate in a national program to ensure that medical graduates are able to perform core activities when they start their residency training.
