The program runs from July 5 through Aug. 6. The registration deadline is June 24.

The full immersion program includes classes in Strengthening Oral Communication, Reading and Writing English, American Culture, TOEFL Prep and English for Medical Professionals.

After hours, students meet for conversation groups and a variety of social and recreational activities, including a crab feast, movie nights and visits to Baltimore attractions.

Sports Volunteers Needed

The first-year medical school class is launching Johns Hopkins' Sports Clinic for youths in grades three through five (ages 8 to 12) from the area around the East Baltimore campus.
