Enhanced Medical Education Tracks (EMET)
Enhanced Medical Education Tracks offer medical students an opportunity to perform in-depth study of an interdisciplinary field of medicine that enhances the required curriculum without extending the time needed to graduate from medical school. EME Tracks consist of longitudinal activities in which students work closely with faculty mentors, residents and advanced students. The tracks are challenging for students and address specific topics in greater depth than is available through the required curriculum. Although EMET participants are required to maintain good academic standing, applicants are selected for Tracks based on their interest in the topic and their motivation to complete work above and beyond the basic M.D. curriculum.
Interested students apply to a Track during the second semester of their M1 year. Accepted participants then complete the designated Track activities, such as seminars, preceptorships, or research, throughout their M1, M2 and M3 years. During the M4 year students, with guidance from their mentors, produce a capstone project such as a poster or conference presentation. Recognition for students who complete EMET includes: documentation of performance in their MSPE, acknowledgement of completion on their transcript and recognition at the ‘hooding’ ceremony.
