Mission/Purpose: 

  • Clinical Understudy and Research Education (CURE) was established in the Fall of 2012 with the purpose of assisting college students who are preparing for some type of health professional school. We help students gain insight into the health field by holding lectures and seminars every other Monday. During these meetings, a health professional speaks about their career and teaches the members how to perform a hands-on procedure. Additionally, we provide volunteering, shadowing, and research opportunities which many students need to apply to such schools. 

Population of Students:

  • Pre-Medical
