Krueger ‘University’ Medical Scholars Program
Instructions for Students
Welcome to the Medical Scholars Program provided by the John J. Krueger, MD Foundation. The purpose of this program is to provide you with the experience of following health professionals as they work in their offices or in the hospital, learn about certain patients, why they are being seen and what the treatment plan will be. We find that students are more likely to learn by actually being in the environment, interacting with patients and their providers, and asking questions. Your enrollment in the Medical Scholars Program at your school is the first step in this process. Currently there are two participating schools - Bayside High School and Norfolk Academy. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions as you go along. Those who ask the most questions are the ones who learn the most.
The following is a step-by-step process so you can be clear on how it works:
Notes:
Thank you for your participation in this program. You may schedule as many appointments as you wish, wherever there is an available slot, and depending on how much time you are permitted to be away from your regular classes at your school. Please consider rotating through at least five of the specialties that are available so you get a well-rounded experience and become comfortable inside medical environments. We hope that your multiple experiences here help to broaden your education in the health sciences and perhaps help in your future career choices. Make sure to add your participation here to your resume and/or college application forms. We appreciate the opportunity to help you in whatever way we can.
