Motts Children's Hospital Volunteer Event - THIS SAT

Motts children's hospital volunteer event is held on this Saturday from 1:30PM
Please contact Lindsay Sklar (sklarl@umich.edu) if you are interested!

Pre-med workshop rescheduled

EMRO members,

Because of the low amount of RSVPs (10) for the pre-med workshop, it will be postponed to a few more weeks. This will allow more time for everyone to evaluate their schedules way in advance so we can plan a good workshop. I will let you know when the eboard has rescheduled this event.

If anyone is still interested and would like urgent pre-med advice, please contact me and I will refer you to the person who is running the workshop for our organization.

Thanks!

-Annie Layno-Moses, Co-President

Pre-med/Pre-health Workshop, Oct. 17th (RSVP required)

Dear EMRO members,

Aside from those 2 volunteer events, we have also scheduled a pre-med workshop for Wednesday, October 17 from 4-5 in the Michigan League Room A. I need to know who would be interested in this.

I have worked to book a pre-med advisor and we must know how many people will be attending. Please RSVP to me by THURSDAY OCTOBER 11.

We need a certain number of people there in order to keep this appointment. The advisor has a presentation prepared and you will be able to ask about the med school application process, the pre-med curriculum, as well as any advice for the pre-health process in general.

I will remind you, this will count for one of the five events required for the year.

Please consider attending, thank you,

Annie Layno-Moses, Co-President

Teach For America Conference 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.

If you are interested in attending a call, please RSVP to medschoolcall@teachforamerica.org and include your name, undergrad University, undergrad grad date, and the call(s) you plan on attending.
There's a limit to the number of callers that can be on a call, so by RSVPing, we can determine whether we need to add additional calls or not. Each dean will devote the bulk of each call answering callers' questions, so you are encouraged to e-mail questions in advance to
medschoolcall@teachforamerica.org though you may also have an opportunity to ask additional questions on the call.
