<\/span><\/div>The Texas Undergraduate Medical Academy’s Summer College Prep program offers academic workshops in math, English, study skills, research, time management, and professionalism, designed for High School Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors interested in pursuing a career in health science or medicine.<\/p>\n
The UMA is pleased to announce that, in addition to participating in academic workshops, students will have the opportunity to apply for one of two Track specialties: the College Readiness Track and the Medical Skills Track. Space is limited for both tracks, and acceptance decisions will be made holistically based on the overall strength of the student’s application.<\/p>\n
The College Readiness Track<\/strong> is a well-rounded academic experience that provides students the opportunity to meet UMA alumni, medical professionals, and scientific researchers in various specialties, gaining a deeper understanding of college life, academic preparation, and the diverse career opportunities in health science and medicine. Students will have the opportunity to visit a Houston-area medical school, PVAMU’s Agricultural Research Farm, and the Houston Health Museum\u2019s Debakey Cell Lab to learn about a variety of health science and STEM career and research opportunities. Participants of the College Readiness Track will earn two certificates: College & Career Readiness and Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence Ethical Awareness.<\/p>\n The Medical Skills Track<\/strong> integrates experiential learning to provide students with the opportunity to earn their American Red Cross First Aid\/CPR\/AED certificate, as well as their American College of Surgeons’ Stop the Bleed certificate. Participants of the Medical Skills Track will learn skills in blood pressure management, pathogen safety, suturing techniques, and other emergency preparedness skills. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to participate in several college and professional readiness sessions, tour a Houston-area medical school, and participate in a Live Brain Dissection Demonstration at the Houston Health Museum.<\/p>\n 2026 Program Dates:<\/strong> June 22-26, 2026 UMA Summer College Prep 2026 Flyer & Sample Itinerary: <\/strong><\/p>\n 2026 Flyer: http:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/uma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/UMA-Prep-2025-1.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n Sample Itinerary: http:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/uma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/Summer-Camp-Sample-Itinerary-Sheet1-1-1.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div> Vision:\u00a0<\/strong>The vision of the Texas Undergraduate Medical Library is to enhance the scholarly pursuit of knowledge, foster intellectual curiosity, and promote lifelong learning and research through our innovative services, resources, and cultural programs, which support the Texas Undergraduate Medical Academy and Prairie View A&M University\u2019s global mission of teaching, service, and research.<\/span><\/p>\n Library Hours: <\/strong>Monday \u2013 Friday: 8:00 am \u2013 5:00 pm<\/p>\n Location: <\/strong>The Texas Undergraduate Medical Academy Library is located on the first floor of the E.
