July 2026: Pre-Health Month
Join APAMSA this July for Pre-Health Month, a series designed to support students navigating the path to medicine through honest conversations, practical guidance, and community-centered mentorship across admissions, school selection, extracurriculars, and the pre-health journey.
July 1, 2026
Looking for guidance on the pre-health journey? APAMSA’s Big Sib/Little Sib Mentorship Program is here to connect undergraduate pre-health students with current medical students for meaningful mentorship, support, and community.
Little Sibs can receive one-on-one guidance on course planning, personal statements, medical school applications, specialty exploration, and more. Big Sibs will have the opportunity to give back, build mentorship experience, and support the next generation of physicians.
NEW THIS YEAR: Little Sibs will get *exclusive access* to APAMSA’s list of Campus Ambassadors! The Ambassadors are current medical students who have generously volunteered to answer questions from pre-health students about their schools to faciliate the process of deciding which schools to apply to and attend.
This program is open for the 2026–2027 academic year, with quarterly check-ins and opportunities to connect at regional and national conferences.
