What are Drop-Ins and How Do They Work?
Drop-Ins provide a casual, in-person space where you can connect with peers, current Keck School of Medicine students, and invited health professionals to seek guidance, ask questions, and gain inspiration on your unique pre-health journey. Whether you have specific questions or simply wish to hear about others’ experiences, there’s no specific requirement for interaction. Join us and gain tailored support towards your unique pre-health journey!
Drop-In Peer Advising
The Peer Advising Drop-Ins are held by third and fourth-year students who are academically high-achieving and have meaningful co-curricular involvement, clinical experiences, research, and leadership roles. First-year students are encouraged to utilize drop-in mentorship before meeting with a staff advisor!
