Event: SHPEP Find Your Charge Through a Career in Optometry (Webinar)

Optometry is a stimulating and rewarding career based in patient care and the most highly valued human sense: sight. Join us and meet five Doctors of Optometry and learn about different modalities you can pursue in optometry and how you can have the opportunity to change lives every day. Students seeking to make a real difference will find no better career than optometry.

Cambridge Coaching MCAT Webinars: Conditioning

It's a weekly live webinar about a high yield MCAT topic. It's short, sweet, and packed with valuable insight into both the topic at hand and how it's tested on the MCAT. While we are in the process of developing these materials, we are offering the webinar for free. Consider yourself a pilot student for a future Cambridge Coaching MCAT course, or textbook, or self-study platform (only the future can tell). All we ask in exchange is that you keep coming, participate in Q & A, share your feedback, and let friends know about this resource. This webinar's topic will be Conditioning, and will take place Friday September 10 at 1pm EST.
