*        The UCLA Premedical/Predental Enrichment Program (PREP) and

*        UCLA Re-Application Program (RAP)

 UCLA PREP is an intensive, six-week summer program where promising students from disadvantaged backgrounds are exposed to the rigors of academic medicine and or dentistry.  Included are hands-on preceptorships with physicians and dentist in clinical and research settings.  The program is enhanced by students being mentored in intimate, structured cluster groups by trained teaching assistants; themselves accomplished medical students.

PREP 2006 will begin Monday, June 26, 2006 and end Friday, August 4, 2006.

The postmark deadline for submission of all required material is Wednesday, March 1, 2006. Applications and further information are available at
