Harvard Medical School Pre-Medical Webinars

Hello,

My name is Marcie Mai, I am the Recruitment and Student Life Manager in the Office of Recruitment and Multicultural Affairs (ORMA) at Harvard Medical School. Our office aims to recruit students who are underrepresented in medicine (URiM), first-generation college students, LGBTQ+ students, and those from low-income backgrounds. One way we support this mission is by hosting webinars for pre-med students to help them navigate the medical school application process. Below are the dates and topics for our upcoming webinars, all scheduled for 6:30 PM EST.

Here is the registration link.

November 7, 2024: Medical School Application Process

Learn more about medical school applications, deadlines, and application assistance aid programs. This webinar will provide an overview of applying to medical school and how to prepare for a successful application process. We will provide a suggested timeline based on the intended academic start date. This webinar will be an interactive presentation to help you get started on your medical school journey! 

November 21, 2024: Personal Statements

Hear from our current students about their personal statement writing process. Learn about the components that make a personal statement and common questions asked. Personal statements allow the admissions committee to learn more about you, hear your story, and understand the experiences that have shaped your journey toward a career in medicine.

February 1, 2025: Interviewing Best Practices

Learn about the different types of interviewing processes during medical school applications and how to best prepare for them. We will have a panel of HMS medical students sharing their interviewing experiences during their medical school journey. Join us to learn how to put your best foot forward during your medical school interview.

March 20, 2025: Why Medicine?

Join our Harvard Medical School alumni and current students as they share why they chose to become doctors and pursue medical school. You will hear from current students in different stages of their educational journey, as well as alumni reflecting on their time at HMS and sharing what life has been like after graduation.

Let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to meeting students!

 

Best,

Marcie

Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Program

My name is Darean Talmadge and I am reaching out to ask you to share an AmeriCorps service year opportunity with your students, caring for infants and children up to age six who are at risk for abuse and neglect in Houston, TX. Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will serve these vulnerable children throughout a 12-month commitment, living in a private, gated community (at no cost) and receiving a living allowance.

Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will work collaboratively with other AmeriCorps Members in the home to ensure that children’s physical, emotional, and mental needs are met. While the commitment to our organization is only one year, the impact AmeriCorps Members have on the children in their care is lifelong. In turn, the children’s strength, resilience, and love will also make a lifelong impact on them.
We are currently accepting applications for the September 2025-August 2026 service year. Thank you in advance for sharing this opportunity with your students. An informational flyer is below, and our application can be found at:  https://forms.office.com/r/YGgiVKP1hX 


Additionally, attached are the profiles of the eight AmeriCorps Members who served with us during the 2023-2024 service year. These profiles offer valuable insight into the background and experience of our Members.
For more information, please contact Darean Talmadge 713-529-0639 dtalmadge@casahope.org 
We are so grateful for your partnership.
