From our APAMSA family to you: welcome to Pre-Health Month! ✨ Join us this July as we support pre-health students navigating the path to medicine with honest conversations, practical guidance, and community-centered mentorship.

Throughout the month, we’ll be hosting three featured events designed to demystify the pre-health journey and help students feel more prepared and better-informed.

First, join us for an extracurriculars fair highlighting different ways to gain meaningful experience before medical school, including research, clinical work, community service, volunteering, and summer programs. Students will have the chance to learn more about opportunities in basic science, clinical research, community health, medical assisting, EMT work, scribing, non-clinical volunteering, and more.

We’ll also be hosting Choosing a Medical School, a candid discussion on thoughtfully building a school list, MD vs. DO programs, and the factors that are (or aren’t) actually important to consider when choosing a school in the opinions of current medical students.

Finally, we’ll close out the month with a Q&A with admissions officers, where students will have the opportunity to hear directly from those involved in the admissions process and learn what medical schools are really looking for.

Whether you’re just beginning your pre-health journey or preparing to apply, we hope this month helps you feel more confident, connected, and supported.
