Admissions deans of three top medical schools will be hosting conference calls for pre-med students across the country who are interested in hearing their views on Teach For America and how it fits into a career in medicine. Each dean will discuss why her/his medical school values medical students who have been Teach For America, and will help call participants think through their decisions about whether or not they should consider joining Teach For America before beginning their medical studies. In addition, each dean will be able to answer questions relating to the medical school application process in general and to their medical school in particular. Each dean will devote the bulk of each call answering callers’ questions, so you are encouraged to e-mail questions to medschool.call@teachforamerica.org in advance of the call (see below for more details).
