The program pairs medical students with pre-med undergrads in a mentoring program. This program is designed to provide a medical student's perspective, guidance, and advice to those seriously considering a career in medicine and to encourage communication and a healthy approach to premedical pursuits. In order to facilitate this, we anticipate meetings will occur at least once a quarter and are an important resource for undergraduates to learn more about what medical school is like as well as exchange experiences with Pritzker students. The upper classman would essentially act as a student peer adviser for any questions or concerns that the prospective pre-med applicant may have. The PMSA Lecture Series is an opportunity to hear prominant speakers talk about aspects in the medical field.
Topics aim to address issues relevant to today's and future physicans.
The Crerar File is PMSA's permanent reserve folder in Crerar Library, located on the Science Quads. The file contains practice MCAT tests, brochures, applications, and secondaries from numerous medical schools, interview questions, and a host of other information to help the student in the application process. The primary concerns are communication and easily accessible and widely served information. Current services include mailing lists and world wide web page. The general mailing list allows quick and effective mass notification to all PMSA members on events and activities of interest to pre-meds.
