FALL EVENTS
For incoming students and students new to pre-med, -dentistry, -optometry, -podiatry, and -PA:
What Every Pre-Health Professional Should Know
After you’ve acclimated to the semester, it’s a good time to solidify your direction. We’ll talk about what factors to consider in exploring healthcare, how to build a compelling candidacy, what prerequisite courses you might want to choose, and how to fit it all in your undergraduate career.
How to Arrange Shadowing, Volunteering, Research, and Healthcare Experience
The name says it all – this workshop will go over how to find experiences that will help you solidify your direction in medicine, improve your science skills, and gain skills that will help make you a well-rounded candidate for pre-health professions programs.
For juniors and seniors entering the application year:
