This cycle, the Preview Day and the healthcare networking event will be hosted on March 24, 2023. For more details about Preview Day, visit this webpage: https://admissions.western.edu/portal/preview_day. I will provide all applicants with more information about the healthcare networking event as the date draws closer. Please be advised that attendance at this event is just one of many preference points. Although we would love for you to attend this event, we realize that scheduling/travel challenges may make it impossible for some individuals.

Scholarship recipients will be awarded $2,500 per year for up to 4 years. Of note, there are requirements that scholarship awardees must fulfill in order to maintain their scholarship eligibility (i.e. overall GPA >/= 3.3, science GPA >/= 3.3, continued interest in healthcare, etc). These will be clearly communicated to the scholarship recipient before the award is finalized.
