DREAM Program Provides Comprehensive Learning Experience for Premedical Students

Melayna Autery from Stillman College and Justin Freeney from Auburn University are both enrolled in the USA College of Medicine's DREAM program.

The eight-week Diversity, Recruitment, and Enrichment for Admission into Medicine (DREAM) program provides a specially designed, comprehensive learning experience for economically and educationally disadvantaged premedical students during the two summers prior to their junior and senior undergraduate college years.

The program is designed to assess and improve the ability of these students to begin medical school on a level playing field and perform successfully in medical school through an early introduction to its rigors and necessary discipline.
