Hello All -

I'm sure many of you are already aware of the day-long premed conference taking place in Harlem on Saturday, December 8, sponsored by Mentoring in Medicine, a fairly new national nonprofit organization which focuses on issues related to underrepresented minorities in the healthcare profession.  But some of you may not have heard of the organization or be aware that there is a free conference on Saturday, Dec 8.

I recently spoke with Dr. Lynne Holden, one of the founders and directors of the organization, who kindly has invited me to present during the workshop sessions on the topic of medical school admissions and the MCAT.  She also encouraged me to forward out the conference announcement to everyone who I think would be interested.  Collectively, you all have direct communication, through your listservs, with hundreds, if not thousands, of premed and pre-health students who could benefit tremendously from the information and resources that will be offered at the conference.  To be clear, this is NOT a Kaplan event; this conference is a production of Mentoring in Medicine.

Please distibute the email and attachments as you see fit.  The registration deadline for the conference is November 25.

Best,
