FAQs

How does my reference submit a letter of recommendation?

You will provide the contact information (name, email, and phone number) for any academic reference in the online application. Recommendation letters are not required at time of submission; however, we may reach out to your recommender to confirm your aptitude for the program.

What if I don’t want to be a Doctor or work in Medicine?

Great! We value diverse perspectives and enroll our cohort based on their unique contributions to the program. Whether you want to be an engineer, business leader, lawyer, or politician, you will gain valuable cross-disciplinary experiences that you can apply in your future career.

We encourage students with non-biology majors or career plans to join our program and offer unique insights for more effective collaboration.

What opportunities are available if I don’t plan on working in Medicine?

The healthcare field is integrated into nearly every modern career. Engineering is essential to developing prosthetics, artificial organs, protective gear, and more. Business is essential to manufacturing and distributing medications. Law is necessary to legislate our insurance systems. Technology is required to power advanced surgical tools. Architecture is essential to designing hospital spaces and care facilities. Accounting and finance are required to operate every department.

The MIAP Med program is designed to cultivate cross-collaboration to identify and address critical needs in our communities in every field of life. Therefore, we do not want a cohort full of students with the same experiences and future goals.

How can I use this Program for my future applications/Graduate Degrees/Jobs?

MIAP Med offers multiple valuable experiences you may use for your resume. Not only is it a high-level rigorous activity, but it also provides you the opportunity to develop your own research, network with high-level professionals, and deep dive into a specific sub-field while gaining hands-on clinic experience.

MIAP Med is initiating an alumni program to encourage future collaboration of program participants.

Additionally, you will be eligible for future advanced MIAP Med programs, including the 2025 Fellowship.

Many of our students will meet mentors during the program who can guide you through your future pathways and even offer recommendation letters.
