LTU, MSU College of Human Medicine meet on research, med school admission program

June 7, 2023

SOUTHFIELD—Lawrence Technological University President Tarek Sobh met Wednesday morning with representatives of Michigan State University and its College of Human Medicine to discuss possible future research opportunities, as well as progress on MSU’s 2019 Early Assurance Program agreement with LTU.

That agreement offers qualified college juniors in pre-medicine at LTU a guaranteed spot at MSU’s medical school.

The EAP offers an enhanced opportunity for admission to medical school for premedical students. Preference for EAP admission will be given to those who meet one or more of the following criteria:
• First generation college student
• Graduate of a low-income high school as defined by the U.S. Department of Education
• Eligible for, or a recipient of, an undergraduate Pell or institutional need-based grant
• Graduate from an underserved (health professional shortage) urban or rural area
• Demonstrates interest in a high-need medical specialty or practicing in a medically underserved community

Students who excel in LTU’s premedical program may apply to the MSU College of Human Medicine during their junior year. If accepted, they will be assured of admission and begin a relationship with MSU College of Human Medicine during their senior year at LTU. There will be at least one, and up to two, seats reserved for LTU premedical students per year under the agreement.

Attending the meeting with Sobh were Aron Sousa, dean of the MSU College of Human Medicine; Jerry Kooiman, assistant dean for external relations in the College of Human Medicine; Arlynn Dailey, College of Human Medicine director of community engagement and outreach for southeast Michigan and Detroit; Basil Abdo, community assistant dean for the College of Human Medicine at Ascension Providence Southfield; Jessica Davison, admissions counselor at the College of Human Medicine; and Joel Maurer, College of Human Medicine assistant dean for admissions.
