Subject: Prehealth Events for the Remainder of the Fall Semester!

Hello,

I am sending this email hoping you can pass it along to your listserv members. Below is a list of the remaining events the MIT Prehealth Advising Team is hosting this semester, including another great discussion with Biology Professor, Dr. Dennis Kim. I have also attached flyers. I am also attaching a flyer about a unique program that is being hosted by MISTI and PKG Public Service Center discussing ethical issues surrounding health opportunities abroad. I think this would be really good to attend for anyone planning on going abroad in the near future, especially if you hope to get clinical exposure while abroad! You can register for the panel event here: https://goo.gl/Pjrp2u  and learn more about the PKG’s Get Good Stuff Done Workshop series here: http://studentlife.mit.edu/pkgcenter/student-programs/get-good-stuff-done

∙Prehealth Group Advising 2: Medical School Essay Brainstorming

Why Medicine? Probably the most important and  the most frequently asked question you will get asked during the medical school application process. Attend this workshop and we will help you find your why and discuss any of your individual questions about the personal statement for medical school.  Or you can simply stop by to start working on your own personal statement.  Potential 2019 Matriculants are strongly encouraged to attend, but all premed/prehealth students are encouraged to stop by, connect with your prehealth advisors, and ask any questions.

Lunch will be served!
