What are the components of PRIME-US?
Orientation: PRIME-US students gather in late August for an orientation that lasts 2 weeks for SF students and 1 week for JMP students. The orientation is a combination of seminars and field trips with the goal of introducing students to urban underserved care, Bay Area resources, and each other. Students receive a stipend for their participation in orientation. Seminars: during the first two years, interactive seminars on the health and healthcare of the urban underserved will be held approximately twice a month. These seminars are in addition to the regular medical school curriculum. Seminars cover public health and policy issues, as well as specific populations and communities.
