Q&A Event with UConn Medical Students

Monday, September 23rd, 2019

07:30 PM - 08:30 PM

Storrs Campus
ITE 125

We want to welcome students that are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare to an engaging and informative Q&A event with UConn medical students. Undergraduate students can feel comfortable discussing any questions or concerns they have related to medical school or the healthcare field. Questions may pertain to the medical student's applying process, stress management tips while in medical school, advice for those taking a gap year, etc. Overall, our goal is to host a fun, but helpful event for undergraduate students to talk to someone they can relate to. We hope this event will encourage students to work on personal goals, but also reach out to peers and other communities to work together to reach their short, and long-term goals.
