Pre-Med March Madness is heading your way!



Interested in applying to professional schools in medical fields? Check out Pre-Med March Madness





These workshops sponsored by BU’s pre-professional committee are just what the doctor ordered:


Sophomores and Juniors who are interested in careers in various medically-related professions medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, chiropractic, optometry, dentistry, etc.) are strongly encouraged to attend the Pre-Med March Madness workshops to be held at 5:00 p.m. at ABLE in the Columbia Living Learning Community Room on these Mondays:


March 2:   The Application Process. The Pre-Professional Advisory Committee will guide you through the rigors of applying to professional schools, including AMCAS and AADSAS. Students will share their experiences with the admissions process.
March 16:  Creating an Appropriate Resume. Sure you have a resume, but is it appropriate for your application? Come to this workshop with a print-out of your re- sume for break-out sessions of peer and advisor review. It is OK if the resume is kind of rough. Sophomores are especially encouraged to attend.
March 23:  Telling Your Story in the Personal Statement. Writing about yourself is probably the most difficult part of the application. For that reason, applicants tend to procrastinate in
writing this important document.  Come to this workshop with a printed rough draft of your personal statement, or at least some ideas on paper for break-out sessions of peer and advisor review.  Juniors are especially encouraged to come.

For more information contact: Committee Co-Chairs, Dr. Ardizzi and Dr. Surmacz (Biological and Allied Health Sciences), Dr Bell (Chemistry and Biochemistry), Dr. Borland (Chemistry and Biochemistry),Dr.Morgan (Chemistry and Biochemistry), or Dr. Schwindinger (Biological and Allied Health Sciences.)

BAHS medical imaging majors gained valuable experience with various imaging technologies  during internships at Geisinger Health System.   Intern Ashley Wilkins  reports: "I  have been able to see so much in the Radiology field. I have observed general diagnostic radiology, MRI, CAT scan, and ultrasound. I have seen x-rays of different body parts, especially of the chest. I have also seen numerous MRIs of the brain and spine and CAT scans of the chest and abdomen. Lastly, I have seen many pregnancy ultrasounds. My favorite part of the internship is being able to start learning early. I definitely recommend this internship to other students. It is a great way to become more familiar with the type of environment you will work in during your career. It is also  a jump start to your learning, because you get to see so much and you have the opportunity to ask questions.
