the Gateways to the Laboratory
Program, sponsored by the Cornell/Rockefeller/Sloan-Kettering
Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program. This ten week program allows freshman
and sophomore underrepresented minority students to experience life as a
MD-PhD. While conducting independent research projects at either the Weill
Medical College of Cornell University, The Rockefeller University or the
Sloan-Kettering Institute, Gateways students participate in a number of
clinical activities including rounding
with the Department of Medicine at the New York Presbyterian Hospital and
an anatomy lab. This past summer, the Gateways students participated in a
mock MCAT exam as well as numerous social and cultural activities, such as
a trip to see the World Champion Yankees and the Apollo Theatre.

The program awards a stipend of $3900 and reimburses the students for their
travel expenses. On campus housing is available.
