Attended Pre-Health Advising (Career counseling or advising session)(2 pts) - Londyn Lumas-Harmon

 

I attended a pre-health advising session led by Dr. Lauj Gardner, the new Pre-Health Advisor for the Class of 2028. During this session, she shared valuable information about various resources available to students pursuing health-related fields. We learned about pipeline opportunities, MCAT preparation, resume assistance, and ways to find shadowing and clinical experiences. Dr. Gardner also gave practical tips on studying effectively and staying on track within our majors.

I found this session extremely helpful because it gave me a clearer understanding of what steps I need to take to prepare for medical school. I especially appreciated hearing about opportunities that can strengthen my experience beyond the classroom. This connected to what I am learning in my biology courses, where we often discuss real-world applications of scientific knowledge. Overall, the session motivated me to start planning early and take full advantage of the resources available to support my pre-health journey.
