Hands-on Learning

As a pre-med student at Bethel, you’ll have the chance to use what you learn in the classroom in practical situations. One common way is by collaborating in research with faculty members. Students have also pursued summer research positions at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and in university laboratories nationwide.

Research experience can be beneficial in preparing you to become an independent learner, as medical school increasingly requires students to be. Other opportunities include shadowing physi­cians and other healthcare professionals and participating in meetings and service projects of the Bethel Pre-Health Professions Club.
