Pathway Student Tutor

Description

The

David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Office of Outreach and Pathway Programs

offers specialized pathway programs (SHPEP, PREP, and RAP) focused on the

preparation of pre-medical and pre-health students. The Programs provide critical exposure to the

fields of medicine and health care, instruction in science, other academic

subjects, and the healthcare environment in the United States, as well as

preparation and guidance for the admission processes for medical and health

sciences professional schools.

This

position serves as a group facilitator and mentor for the Summer Pathway

Programs participants ("scholars") hosted by the Office of Outreach

& Pathway Programs. In small groups with pathway scholars, Tutors will

facilitate scholar reflection on the program, assist scholars with program

assignments, and lead the scholars in the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Case

study. In this role, you will also check in weekly with their direct supervisor

for updates and problem-solving. A critical aspect of the Tutor role is both

formal and informal mentorship for the Pathway Scholars. Tutors may be hired

for one or both Pathway Programs.
