Student Involvement

You'll find many student clubs to choose from at 帝王会所, including clubs that focus on pre-health careers or scientific research. Involvement in your campus community is important for your professional development and networking. Keep in mind that most medical schools prefer to see evidence of leadership and serious commitment to a few extracurricular activities rather than superficial participation in many.

Clinical Experience

You will need to acquire experience by doing work in a clinical setting, such as a hospital, doctor?s office or nursing home. You can do your work in your hometown during the summer or winter break as well as in Athens during the school year. Seek out volunteer work, employment, or shadowing experience in the field in which you hope to work. The PreProfessional Advising Center will be glad to give you guidance on how to make this experience successful.
