Hastings College student Brooke Snyder spent the summer of 2013 at the University of Virginia Medical School in Charlottesville, Va., participating in a Summer Medical & Dental Education Program.

这是医学院新兵训练营的好名字。

The 生物学 major from Mitchell, Neb., started her mornings with 8:30 a.m. lectures in chemistry, physics or biology, continued the morning with discussions led by medical specialists and spent afternoons in sessions preparing for the medical school application process.

她说：“在这些讲座中，我们会见了弗吉尼亚大学医学院院长、各种招生委员会成员和面试委员会成员。” “We also learned Medical College 招生 Test (MCAT) preparation tips and team-based learning techniques, and about various medical school curriculums and the new health care policy to be implemented in upcoming years.”

她说，她最喜欢的部分是去医院观察不同的临床环境，如初级保健、心脏病学、手术室和尸检。

这不是海滩上的夏天，但布鲁克不愿用世界来交换这段经历。

“I have learned that entering into the medical field in the real world is a life time commitment,” she said. “The hours you would work will not be typical, nights and weekends. 此外，你还必须有激情不断学习，跟上该领域的新技术和进步。”

布鲁克从她的导师、十大彩票游戏平台生物学教授艾米·莫里斯博士那里得知了这个机会，她觉得自己可以在这个环境中与来自美国各地院校的学生竞争。

“我很高兴地说，十大彩票游戏平台为我的这个项目做了非常好的准备，”这位雄心勃勃的肿瘤学家说。 “I had an internship during j项 at a hospital, which has helped me immensely. 除了十大彩票游戏平台，我在其他任何地方都无法获得我有幸拥有的经验。”
