Open house for those considering applying to medical school

Current medical students answer questions, offer tours of School of Medicine

April 08, 2015

Students from the University of Nevada School of Medicine will host an informational open house for high school students and their parents on Saturday, April 11 from 9 to 11 a.m. in the Pennington Health Sciences Building on the University of Nevada, Reno campus.

The open house and tour of the medical school is geared to teens considering applying to medical school in the future.

Current first- and second-year medical students will be discussing career opportunities in medicine, the educational path towards medicine and why a commitment to education and community service are crucial to success in this field. Tours of the medical school and anatomy lab and demonstrations of physical exam skills and simulating patient experiences will be offered.

All are welcome to attend with their questions regarding all things related to the medical school preparation and application process.

This event is hosted by the Latino Medical Students Association and the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association.

Please park in the lot in front of the Pennington Health Sciences Building, near the corner of Enterprise Road and South Medical Way on campus.
