Honors Medical Scholars Program

Get a head start on Medical School
The Florida State University College of Medicine has joined forces with the Honors Program to create a professional-track program available, on a highly competitive basis, to a small number of motivated first-year students in each incoming Honors class. The program gives students a head start on their chosen careers by allowing them to become members of the College of Medicine community while they are still undergraduates.

Through the Honors Medical Scholars Program, and upon completion of premed requirements, students will be eligible for early admission to the FSU College of Medicine, making it possible in come cases to receive an undergraduate degree and an M.D. degree in seven years.

Honors Medical Scholars benefit from participation in a special seminar course, a mentorship program, premed prerequisite courses, medical and community volunteer activities, and the Honors Medical Scholars society and other student organizations. Honors Medical Scholars are given pre-professional advising, meet with professors, observe classes, and shadow current students.

Eligibility
In order to apply to this competitive program, students must be admitted to both Florida State University and the Honors Program. There is a specific timeline students must follow in order to apply. Interested freshman applicants must apply for undergraduate admission to Florida State University by October 14, 2009 to be considered.

Special Feature: Honors Medical Scholars Society

The Honors Medical Scholars Society was founded in 2008 and is focused on preparing its members for a future in the field of medicine. In 2008-2009, its members fulfilled goals of outreach, service, and personal growth by sponsoring a medical trip to Peru; volunteering and raising money for several charitable organizations such as the Ronald McDonald House and the annual American Heart Association Heart Walk; and visiting with local high school students to encourage them to pursue a career in medicine or a medical-related field. The Honors Medical Scholars Society provides an opportunity for Honors Medical Scholars to get to know their peers, helping to facilitate the transition to college life and the demands of premed courses and activities.
