SUU MED Connect
Are you a currently enrolled SUU student on a pre-medical pathway? Would you like to learn how other SUU students prepared for medical school applications, acceptance, and success?
SUU MED Connect is a free mentorship program that pairs SUU pre-medical students with alumni who are currently in medical school or have already completed it. These alumni mentors have volunteered to support students following a similar path to the one they took at SUU.
Through one-on-one mentoring and webinar opportunities, volunteer alumni mentors can help you focus on key steps for preparing to enter and succeed in medical school.
To learn more about the program, please complete the brief access request form or contact Professor Mary Jo Tufte at tuftem@suu.edu.
