LAH Pre-Med Society Meeting

Leave a reply

Liberal Arts Pre-Med Society is an organization whose main goal is foster a pre-med atmosphere within the College of Liberal Arts.  Many Liberal Arts Pre-Med students have felt as though those in the College of Natural Sciences are given more opportunities to pursue a degree in the medical field, and as a result this organization has been formed to help alleviate this problem.  Our main objective is to help Liberal Arts Pre-Med students gain experience in the medical field through volunteering, and shadowing at various hospitals, and clinics throughout the Austin area.  Not only that, but the organization feels it’s members need to be well-rounded, so not only will we volunteer at hospitals and clinics, but we will also spend time helping the less fortunate, such as those in food shelters and retirement homes.

  • We have many events planned for this year including:

o   Shadowing doctors at Dell Children’s Medical Center, and Seton clinics around Austin

o   Volunteering at Dell Children’s Medical Center

o   Volunteering at food shelters around the community

o   Having various doctors come speak to us at our meetings

o   Have Princeton Review come and give us MCAT advice

o   Habitat for Humanity

o   Kayaking, movie, and food socials

COME JOIN US AT OUR NEXT MEETING OCTOBER 5 AT 7 PM AT THE CAROTHER’S DORIMTORY!
