OUR PROGRAMS
How to save a life
We engage students in various activities. One of these is our Certified CPR Course. Within this same period of time, our students are exposed to numerous activities which they could use to "Save A Life" if they had to perform CPR.
A Day in The Life (Physician visit)
We believe this visualization of Physicians within their settings is crucial to a student’s decision to become a Doctor.
Interested students have the opportunity to learn from physicians in various specialties about their journeys and their practices. They have access to physician shadowing and one-on-one discussions. We want future Medical Students to experience the full range of a Physicians Day.
Therefore, we engage with local Physicians who then interact with our students to give them a glimpse of their day. They usually discuss the following:
Morning Routine: A doctor typically starts their day early. They may review patient charts, review cases, and prepare for clinical practice.
Patient Care: Throughout the day, they see patients, diagnose illnesses, prescribe treatments, and provide preventive care. Their interactions are often empathetic and culturally sensitive.
Challenges: Doctors face unique challenges, including addressing health disparities, advocating for equitable care, and combating stereotypes.
Community Engagement: Some doctors actively engage with their communities, participating in health fairs, workshops, and outreach programs.
Getting into Med school
Our aim is to ensure our students understand the process of getting into medical school, e.g., (Courses, grades, prerequisite, volunteering, MCAT). Not everyone's path is traditional We work to guide students on their personal path to medical school.
A Day in The Life (Medical Student visit)
Our program is designed to give students a glimpse in the life of a practicing Physician. We believe this activity coupled with a visualization of the Doctor's practice of medicine, within their settings will inspire the student to become a Medical Doctor.
"Grand Rounds"
In-person and virtual sessions provide students with the opportunity to learn from and interact with medical professionals. Physicians lead clinical skills sessions focusing on areas such as training in basic life support, CPR, and physical examination. They also address methods of coping with the stress of medical training. We invite Medical School Faculty and Administrators to aid and inform students in best practices for medical school preparation.
Scholarship Support:
Doctors Club Inc.’s goal is to award scholarship support to medical students in good academic standing who attend an Historically Black Medical School. The Scholarship is named for Charles S. Thurston MD, a graduate of Meharry Medical School, and Marie P. Thurston PhD. The first scholarship award will be November 20, 2026.
