We write to share an educational opportunity on July 29 and July 30, 2021 from 2:00-5:00pm EST for advising DACA, DREAMer, and international students who wish to attend medical school in the United States. This program is aimed at current advisors, counselors, and educators who have a role in mentoring college students in the US who face additional barriers due to their immigration status. Through lectures, seminars, and Q&A sessions, the program will provide up-to-date information on what it means to apply to medical school and later residency as a DACA, DREAMer, or international student.
Participation includes attendance at our virtual educational program and completing one online survey at the end of the program. The event is free of charge.
If you are interested in participating, please sign up HERE to receive a Zoom invitation. Please feel free to share within your professional networks to advisors, counselors, and educators who may be interested.
This event is part of an educational study coordinated
by UNC Chapel Hill medical students, Keny Murillo Brizuela, BS, and Yoshiko
Iwai, MS, MFA, under the mentorship of Gary Beck Dallaghan, PhD, Director of
Educational Scholarship at UNC School of Medicine. The program is sponsored by
the Office of Scholastic Enrichment and Equity. For any questions about the
program, please email Keny (keny_murillo-brizuela@med.unc.edu)
