Students considering medicine often hear about both traditional pre-med routes and highly selective BS/MD programs, but understanding how these pathways differ and what they require can be challenging. In this webinar, Katie Chiou breaks down how pre-med and BS/MD programs are structured, how competitive each pathway is, and what admissions committees look for in prospective applicants.

Students and families will learn how early academic choices, extracurricular involvement, research, and clinical exposure factor into preparation for each pathway. The session also offers practical guidance on how to plan in high school, evaluate whether BS/MD programs are a good fit, and make informed decisions without overcommitting too early.

Designed preparing for their medical journey, this session provides clarity, perspective, and a framework for planning ahead with confidence.
