Cedars sinai medical center volunteer program

Our goal is to provide opportunities for students from educationally or economically under-resourced communities, who have not previously shadowed healthcare providers. We are thrilled to announce the return of in-person shadowing of physicians by pre-med volunteers at Cedars-Sinai. Over the 8- to week program, pre-med volunteers will be assigned to a team of mentors within a specific specialty. Volunteers may shadow physicians on patient clinic visits, rounds, grand rounds, collaboration meetings and even into the operating room if they are assigned to a surgical specialty.

The program includes weekly meetings with guest physicians to hear about their journeys into and through medicine. Applications for Summer will open in March We will post more specific dates once the information becomes available. The "Apply Now" link will be active only during the open dates and it will redirect you to the online application.

Applicants must complete the online application and submit supporting documentation of GPA. Candidates will be selected for an interview. High School Students ages Send Us a Message.
