Applying to medical school is about more than checking boxes—it is about building a life, a purpose, and a record of impact that reflects who you are and who you hope to become as a physician. This workshop is designed for community college and university premed students who want clearer guidance on how to shape an application that is thoughtful, authentic, and competitive for the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Chenits Pettigrew, Jr., Ed.D., Associate Dean for Student Engagement and Enrichment, will share insight into how students can develop experiences that demonstrate service, leadership, resilience, curiosity, and commitment to others, while also staying true to their own values and story. You can come, ask your questions and get answers in a supportive, student-centered environment focused on helping you grow with intention. Most importantly, come hear directly from the source instead of second-hand or bad information or people who have no clue about the admission process. Leave with stronger direction, renewed confidence, and concrete next steps for building an application—and a future in medicine—that has real purpose, substance, and impact.
