Medicine and Health Sciences holds Pre-Med Day


Anyone interested in learning about a career in medicine, or in the process of applying to medical school, is invited to attend the annual Pre-Med Day on Saturday, Oct. 24, at the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences (UNDSMHS).

This daylong event is free and takes place in the Reed Keller Auditorium (Room 1350) at the south end of the UNDSMHS at 501 N. Columbia Road.

Organized by the UNDSMHS Student Council and UND Undergraduate Medical Association, the event is intended for people who are thinking about a career in medicine or who have applied to medical school and need more specific information on the admissions process.

Speakers will introduce participants to the medical school, the admissions process and the UND pre-med and medical school curricula. Panels of medical students will discuss what medical school is like, and local physicians will talk about their lives as doctors. A mock interview session will give participants an opportunity to preview the UND medical school admissions process. Students may attend any or all events during the day.

Pre-registration is requested but not required; please call the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions at 777-2840.
