—Additional information—
Hosted by the School of Public Health Diversity Committee, Critical Voices is a quarterly event committed to supporting diversity in the SPH by highlighting student, staff, faculty, and community learning opportunities that represent a wide spectrum of cultural, ethnic, and disciplinary perspectives. Our upcoming panel event, Got Mentors? will promote dialogue on topics of faculty mentoring, peer mentoring, and the importance of mentorship as it relates to building a diverse and supportive community of scholars. Good mentoring can make the difference when recruiting and retaining diverse students, and plays a vital role in helping students become marketable graduates. With good mentoring, a student is prepared to enter his or her profession not only with requisite disciplinary knowledge and skills but also with an understanding of the pathways to success and the self-reliance to embark upon them with confidence. Got Mentors? will provide vital tools to aid faculty and students in creating successful mentor relationships.

Interested in some personal one-on-one mentorship with some real med students at UW School Of Medicine?
APAMSA (Asian/Pacific Islander Association of Medical Students) is offering a rare opportunity to have a personal medical student mentor who you can ask questions to, meet with and be friends with! Our goal is to build a pipeline for pre-med students who identify as Asian/ Pacific Islander to connect with UWSOM and better equip themselves for their career aspirations.
Minimum requirement for mentorship is to meet with mentor at least 1/ quarter, but we are hoping for mentorship to be a lasting long-term relationship, through which undergrad/pre-med students can build a relationship with medical students of a similar background.
The application is a brief (15-20 minute) survey that gives us a little background to help us better pair you with a mentor from UWSOM.
Please only submit serious inquiries!

Limited Slots available!
Application Deadline is Dec 15th!
Mentorships will be paired by beginning of Winter quarter

Each summer, the UW School of Medicine’s Center for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion & UW School of Dentistry Educational Partnerships and Diversity offers an unique opportunity for college freshman and sophomore students interested in medicine and dentistry.
The Summer Medical Dental Education Program (SMDEP) is a six-week enrichment program for talented underrepresented college freshmen and sophomores interested in medicine or dentistry. The program will offer each scholar intensive enrichment in core science courses, clinical exposure, mentor shadowing and much more. The UW simultaneously aims to provide its participants with a deeper understanding of the needs of underserved communities within a supportive and diverse environment. The UW SMDEP has a 23 year proven record of success among our graduates. As of 2011, 870 of our SMDEP graduates have gone on to medical school or dental school.
It is intended for students who are from disadvantaged backgrounds (economic, geographic, education) and/or students who are underrepresented in medicine (racial and ethnic populations that are underrepresented in the medical profession relative to their numbers in the general population). We feel that students who expect to encounter significant barriers in achieving their educational and professional goals will benefit from SMDEP.
The UW SMDEP information/application is online at www.smdep.org. SMDEP application opens November 1st. The application deadline is March 1st. SMDEP has rolling admissions: SMDEP accepts students on an ongoing basis, so please apply early. View SMDEP video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLiIKec1hwk&feature=plcp . Please see enclosures regarding promotional materials on SMDEP.
