Medical Cooperative Program (MEDCORP I & II) is a summer enrichment program for pre- freshman and pre-sophomore disadvantaged/underserved college students designed to provide an advanced math and science curriculum to increase their preparation to meet criteria for admission to health professions school. Students are also provided the opportunity to further explore health career opportunities through mentoring programs and exposure to healthcare professionals.

MEDCORP I & II programs are hosted at Tougaloo College, which is one of two of our Health Alliance Partnership sites. It is a small, private college known for producing many of the African-American physicians and teachers in the state. 

Medical Cooperative Program (MEDCORP III & IV) provides disadvantaged/underserved pre-junior and pre-senior college students with an intense, comprehensive program of study for the MCAT/DAT admission exams. Kaplan-trained instructors lead students though a course of study intended to reinforce students' knowledge of chemistry, physics,  and biological sciences. A verbal reasoning section is also included. Students participate in clinical preceptorships with community and/ or UMC physicians designed to provide them with a meaningful health care professional shadowing experience.
