Participants in the Academy will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in various departments, including the Emergency Department, the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, and others.
Students interested in participating must write a 500-word essay about why they want to be a part of the Academy, demonstrate scholastic ability as evidenced by a GPA of least 3.0, and provide their high school transcript and two letters of recommendation from teachers or guidance counselors.
Potential participants will attend a group interview with a selection committee. If chosen to participate, junior volunteers must provide immunization records to Employee Health and complete computer-based learning modules.
