It is great to collaborate with organizations that support pre-health Titans. The US Army collaborated with three pre-health advisors from metro Detroit universities to create the first Clinical Skills Day on April 1, 2023. Approximately 80 students fought heavy rains to have hands on activities in the following areas:
- Sutures
- Venipuncture
- Blood Pressure
- Patient notes
- Concussion exams
This program was such a success that plans are being made for next year.
The College of Engineering and Science will host a free Profile Picture Day next week, April 21 between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. Current Titans and alumni are welcome to sign up.
Titans are welcome to come to the Interview Practice workshops this week. In addition to the graduate school interviews and the committee letter meeting, students will likely have Situational Judgement Tests. CASPer, KIRA and AAMC PreVIEW are SJTs and have impromptu, timed responses that are keyed into a terminal or video recordings. This are skills that are different from traditional interviewing. Connect with the Center for Career & Professional Development or schedule a meeting with your pre-health advisor. Individual practice for Titan in application cycles continues in the summer months.
It is a Good Day to be a Pre-Health Titan! Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Medical and Pre-Podiatry students can take a 1 credit class to prepare to demonstrate excellence in the DAT and MCAT exams.
