MEDS is a two-day conference for pre-health students at UC San Diego School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy. MEDS is a conference for UC San Diego and neighboring community college students hosted by Academic Enrichment Programs (AEP) (aep.ucsd.edu) and Health & Medical Professions Preparation Program (HMP3) (hmp3.ucsd.edu).

 

MEDS stands for "Medical Education for Diverse Students," and is specifically designed to close the disparities seen in both medical education and health care.  The health care system needs professionals from diverse backgrounds, who can identify with an even more diverse group of patients. There will be workshops on all components of the application process — testing, writing personal statements, interviews, and more. On top of that, the UC San Diego School of Medicine and Pharmacy have invited conference attendees to participate in hands-on workshops in the brand-new patient simulation labs, just like first-year medical and pharmacy students.

 

The conference will take place on Friday, February 19th and Saturday, February 20th, 2021 via virtually (Zoom). More information can be found at http://meds.ucsd.edu.
