Teach for America Event for Pre-Med Students
Teach For America is holding a special event for Pre-med students. As part of their efforts to increase the number of individuals in our corps with backgrounds in the sciences, they have been working in conjunction with a number of top medical schools to help pre-med undergraduates think more expansively about what they plan to do before attending medical school. To that end, we’ve set up a series of conference calls this fall. Admissions deans from two top medical schools will be hosting conference calls for pre-med students across the country to discuss Teach For America and medical school admissions.
We want to invite AED and other pre-med students who may be interested in med school, to join us. Below is information about 2 upcoming calls. Admissions deans from two top medical schools will be hosting conference calls for pre-med students across the country to discuss Teach For America and medical school admissions. We invite you to join a call to learn more about their views on Teach For America, why his/her medical school values the experience of our corps members, and how the Teach For America experience fits into a career in medicine. In addition, each dean will be able to answer questions relating to the medical school application process in general and their medical school in particular.
