<p>Anyone doing SMDEP this summer or has done in the past? I am attending the program at Duke Med school this summer.</p>
<p>im doing it at duke this summer too</p>
<p>is it worth it? is this even a worthwhile program? the requirements seem pretty lenient? Or is it much more competitive to actually get in? thanks!!!</p>
<p>I had one friend do duke and another do columbia? ( one in NYC) last summer and they both loved it.</p>
<p>yeah its not competitive but its a great way to be introduced to clinicals, etc. there are opportunities to speak with admissions officers, training for the mcat, and personal statement workshops. i think its a great opportunity to network as well...but thats just my two cents :)</p>
