The Krueger Medical Scholars Program


This program is a joint effort between community physicians, Sentara Healthcare and the public and private schools of the Hampton Roads community to provide upper school students an opportunity to observe health care being delivered in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings. Such an experience provides students an early opportunity to consider pursuing a career in health care at some time in the future.
