College of Biological Sciences

Are you interested in taking some time off prior to applying or starting health professional school, or are you uncertain on whether you are competitive enough to get into health professional school immediately after graduation? Attend this gap year panel to ask questions to recent alumni who have completed or are currently in a gap year before health professional school. These panelists will share their own experiences and highlight different gap year opportunities in research, healthcare, and service pre-health students can engage in to become more competitive for health professional school. Dinner will be provided. Registration is required.
