Neurophiliac Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hello everyone As a way to support prospective applicants, a few UBC medical students and I have organized a panel dedicated to pre-meds who are interested in the opportunity to connect and have some of their pertinent questions answered. Based on the great feedback we have received from the past couple of virtual events, we've been inspired to coordinate the third session as an in-person gathering for pre-med students to better engage with medical students and vice versa. Simultaneously, however, the session will be streamed live via Zoom for other audience members outside of Greater Vancouver only. Similar to previous events, this session is coming straight from the heart and is an honest attempt to help anyone thinking of pursuing medicine. There is no monetary/financial gain for the panelists nor any non-monetary/non-financial gains. The only motivation is to help. Although a purely student-led initiative, we are grateful to have received approval from the UBC MD Admissions Committee to organize this event. During the period of 2 hours, the panelists will share their experiences and try their best to answer questions regarding MCAT prep, general application advice, their perspectives on medicine as a career, what comes after receiving an offer, and much more. DATE: Sunday, November 28th TIME: 4:00-6:00 PM IN-PERSON LOCATION: UBC Medical Student & Alumni Centre at 2750 Heather St., Vancouver This event can also be accessed virtually via Zoom only for those living outside of Greater Vancouver. If you are interested, please take a minute to RSVP via the Facebook event AND fill out a registration form. We are incredibly excited to be hosting this event for prospective applicants interested in medicine, and eagerly look forward to meeting you! Please feel free to share this event with anyone you know who may be interested. Questions? Feel free to PM me. MDee2B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attending in-person will allow participants to engage better with the session, and the benefit of networking with medical students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
