Medical Panel/Suturing Workshop:

suture!

PPS will be holding our annual Medical Panel and Suturing Workshop Nov. 19th 2009 from 7-9:30pm. This event will begin with the medical panel question and answer session in Smith room 236 and transition to the multicultural center (Smith 228) from 8:15-9:30pm for the suturing portion.
This is a rare opportunity for pre-medical students to directly ask physicians, medical students, and the director of admissions (OHSU) questions regarding their pre-professional endeavors, the applications process, medical school, and what it’s like to be a physician.

Please come with questions in mind for the panel. Thereafter, students will be guided to suture pig’s feet by health professionals; all suturing materials will be provided. In addition, attendees will be given the opportunity to receive information on MCAT prep courses from Princeton Review. There will be food and beverages provided.
