We welcomed 48 Umass Amherst students to campus as part of our mission of supporting underrepresented pre-med students in medicine. Students had the opportunity to tour the campus and anatomy lab, solve a case study and mingle with current medical students.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped pull this off. #mapsday
UMass Chan’s chapter of the Student National Medical Association hosted 38 undergraduate premedical students from UMass Amherst on Saturday for MAPS (Minority Association of Premedical Students) Day.
Activities included a school tour; an anatomy lab experience led by Alexandra Wink, PhD, and Jenna Watson, PhD; a neurology case study; a panel discussion and a mixer.
