Upcoming Events:
From your peers in the Pre-Health Society:
- Conversation Starter: Saturday, 10/20 at 6:45 p.m. in the LaForce Seminar Room (bring your Ross dinner!) This week’s topic: A Public Health Conversation: The Opiod Crisis.
Listen to this Brigham and Women’s Hospital Podcast to know what they will be discussing at this conversation starter.- What are Conversation Starters? Often, as students on the pre-health track, we are so consumed by our academic work, that we neglect to pay attention to actual news and issues of the real world. These “Conversation Starters” will aim to foster interdisciplinary conversations about important health and medical-related subjects and furthermore allow us to engage with our fellow pre-health students. Additionally, we hope that these conversations provide practice for our MMI (Multiple Mini Interviews) skills, a critical part of most health-related graduate school admissions. Developing these skills will give us the necessary tools to ace these interviews! We hope you all will come to join us for some thought-provoking and skill-honing conversation. Please feel free to submit any topic ideas, podcasts, articles, and/or papers for our next Conversation Starter.
