Preparing High School Students for a Pre-Med or Pre-Health Track in College

Do you have high school students who have goals of attending medical school or another health professional school? The Office of Pre-Professional Advising at the University of South Carolina is hosting a workshop specifically targeted for those students called PreMed Prep Academy. Knowing what to expect in college and creating a plan of action that incorporates work and activities that demonstrate compassion, leadership, teamwork, maturity, and a keen knowledge about their chosen profession will help them make a smooth transition to a pre-med/health college path. We will discuss the necessary academic groundwork, how to create a timeline for incorporating out-of-the-classroom work and activities and have several upperclass USC pre-med students and USC medical school students on hand to share their secrets for success. Please pass information about this program on to students who may be interested in attending. We look forward to working with your students!
