Introduction to Medical Education
Notable Quotes from 2012 IMEI Participants
"All the reasons I wanted to do IMEI (learning material, getting to know people, getting to know the college) all happened, but to a greater amount than I ever thought! In my six weeks, I've learned a ton of material, became comfortable at the CCOM, and made a great group of friends (both in my class and outside) that would have never happened if I didn't join IMEI. I can't imagine a better way to have spent my summer."
"I feel comfortable in the med school environment, met many important people and resources, made friends and developed a support system. Became familiar with the Iowa City area and I was able to make it my home. Learned a great volume of information in a short amount of time. Everyone and everything that we did was top-notch. I would give the program an A+."
"I accomplished all the goals I set for this summer, and I would not have been able to do this without IMEI. I feel much more comfortable in Iowa City, I'm excited about my decision to attend the University of Iowa, and I received an introduction (or at least exposure to) a great amount of information that will presented during the fall. It sounds cliché, but I think everyone would benefit from IMEI."
"I feel very prepared for medical school now. It doesn't seem as daunting! Also, I have gotten to know people and make friends that I probably would not have had the chance to otherwise. Thank you!"
"I got out of this program exactly what I was hoping for. I am so thankful I participated in this program, as I feel a lot more ready for school in the fall. I am still anxious about school starting, but I feel that I have developed different techniques for each class that will help me. IMEI is a great program and I think that it truly has been an invaluable experience for me."
