2021 Cohort Kickoff for PreMedical and Predental Students
Today and Next Week!
The PreMedical
& PreDental Advising Office announces its Kickoff Workshops for the
Health Professions Evaluation Committee's Fall 2021 Medical and Dental
School Application Cohort.
All
currently enrolled UMBC students who plan to participate in the UMBC
Health Professions Evaluation Committee process for the application
cycle for FALL 2021 entry into Dental School or Medical School (MD, DO,
and MD/PhD), must attend one of the following information sessions:
Friday, February 14, 2020, 12n-1p (confirmed location BIOL 120)
or
Friday, February 21, 2020, 12n-1p (confirmed location ITE 102)
Kickoff
Workshops are designed for students who are planning to apply to
medical or dental school with the assistance of UMBC’s Health
Professions Evaluation Committee (HPEC). Attending one of the Kickoff
Workshops does not obligate you to apply for admission to medical or
dental school in the next immediate application cycle, but the Workshops
explain what students should expect during the lengthy application
process, and key information to help students perform a self-evaluation
of their readiness for application.
Attendance
at a Kickoff Workshop is mandatory for currently enrolled students at
UMBC interested in matriculating to medical or dental school during the
next immediate application cycle, and is the first in a series of
requirements that students must meet to qualify for the HPEC’s “Eight-Week Guarantee.”
Prior to attending a Kickoff Workshop, future applicants should review the minimum cohort requirements and the purpose of the pre-health application, or HPEC, process.
