Activities on Thursday, April 23 include a Welcome BBQ, afternoon tours of Yale University and New Haven, an opportunity for a one-on-one meeting with our Director of Financial Aid, a social gathering for MD/PhD students, an informative presentation about the Yale Curriculum and the "Yale System", a multi-media Student Showcase in Harkness Auditorium, group dinners in some of New Haven's celebrated restaurants, and an evening "Club Pre-Med" party in Marigolds.
A Welcome Breakfast opens a terrific all-day program on Friday, April 24. After breakfast, there will be two informative panel discussions. The first panel will be with Deans, Directors and Department Chairs. The second panel will be with graduating students and will include lunch. After lunch, you will have an opportunity to meet personally with several Yale School of Medicine faculty members in our unique "Speed Meeting" program in the Historical Library.
