Minority association of pre-health Students
We strive to diversify the professional health field by offering opportunities to students belonging to underrepresented groups. By providing information on shadowing, research, and internships, we aim to increase the number of minorities accepted into professional health schools.
We hope you are all safe and adapting well to online classes! With the amount of online resources during this time, it is a great opportunity to learn more about your respective professional schools and healthcare careers! On our website you will find many informative webinars taking place. It is a great chance to ask about how COVID-19 affects entrance exams, application cycle, pass/no credit, and any general questions or concerns you may have!

Emotional Survival Guide for COVID-19
I thought I’d put together a guide to help myself, my clients, and others cope with the increasing fear, depression, stress, boredom, confusion, and isolation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a difficult time for many and stressors from work (or lack thereof), family, school, and the situation itself can overwhelm us, thereby depleting our immune systems and making us more susceptible to mental and/or physical illness. I urge you all to take a break from the stress, ask yourself “What can I do for myself right now to make myself feel a little better? What do I need?” and then do something to help yourself feel a bit more in control. After all, we cannot control the pandemic or much that is going on right now outside of our own homes. We can, however, control how we respond and how we feel moment to moment.
