A FREE Conference for Pre-medical Students

WHEN: Friday, April 11, 2025 — 8 am to 4 pm
WHERE: MART Auditorium, Stony Brook University Hospital

 

 

Breakfast and Lunch will be served.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT: As a pre-medical student at Stony Brook University, there is a lot to know about and to stay on top of. How does one go about applying? What options are available to finance medical school? What does a physician's trajectory look like from someone who has been there? And, of course, what is it actually like to be in medical school? What about research opportunities (MSTP) and programs such as SUPREME that serve as a pipeline to the Renaissance School of Medicine? Learn about all this, and more, at our pre-medical student conference. We look forward to seeing you.
