Synergy Medical Education Alliance strives to improve the quality of health care in our region through education. A unique component of our programs is called "Exploring Medicine." The program provides college students, high school students or anyone who is considering a career in medicine the opportunity to observe the day-to-day activities of a Synergy Medical physicians, residents and medical students.

As a community-based medical education facility, Synergy Medical believes it can and should help students in our region. Considering a career in medicine usually comes with many questions. Participating in the "Exploring Medicine" program means getting some answers.

How It Works
There are two components to the "Exploring Medicine" program:

	Pre-Med Counseling: Students who want to pursue a career in medicine may receive counseling from Synergy Medical's Chief Academic Officer or other Synergy Medical faculty. This may include general information on medical school admission policies, grades, extracurricular activities, prepratory courses, finances and much more.
	Observational Experience: Participants may spend one day in several of our departments observing residents and medical students as they go about their daily activities. You may participate on hospital patient rounds, lectures, observe our outpatient clinic or even the operating or delivery room.
