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

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

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.
