Prehealth Overview This Wednesday

Spring 2020 class registration is approaching, and if you have questions about the prehealth curriculum, now is a great time to attend a Prehealth Overview session! All prehealth students are asked to attend an Overview session prior to scheduling an individual advising appointment. Our next Prehealth Overview will be:

Wednesday, November 13, 2019
10:00 - 11:00 AM
Beyond Barnard (49 Claremont Ave, 2nd floor)

Register here to attend.

Register for Application Year Overview Sessions Next Week

Prospective applicants to medical and dental schools are welcome to attend our Application Year Overview: Part I, offered in two sessions next week:

Application Year Overview: Part I (in-person) | Monday, November 18 at 6:00 PM

Application Year Overview: Part II (live webinar) | Tuesday, November 19 at 6:00 PM

These sessions will cover the same information, so you need only plan to attend one (and the webinar will be recorded, in case anyone has conflicts with both times). We’ll cover two main topics: 1) assessing your readiness to apply to professional programs and 2) how to apply for a Committee Letter of Evaluation. These sessions are especially relevant for any prospective applicants to medical or dental school who plan to submit their professional school applications in summer 2020.

Please note that we'll begin the Committee application later this semester, as we are transitioning away from AdviseStream/Inspire to use a new application system. 

In the meantime, you can find more information about prehealth topics in the Prehealth Advising Resources article in Handshake.
