In addition, many chapter members volunteer in the Alumni Mentor Alliance, contributing their time and experience to undergraduate and medical students who have questions about pursuing a future in medicine. Listed below are a few other ways that alumni can help out current medical students. Committed to ensuring that the cost of attending medical school is not prohibitive for talented graduates, the chapter offers a special loan program with low interest rates to alumni. In addition, the Medical Alumni annually presents a scholarship to the top graduating senior who will pursue a career in medicine. For more information on any of the above, please contact the Alumni Office.
Your participation is welcome in three ways:
• Attend the annual "Dinner With a Doc."
• Make a visit to campus for dinner in the cafeteria with a small group of aspiring medical students
• Invite a few students to your work site and take them to dinner
Any of these methods benefit the next generation of medical professionals greatly, and will take only an hour or two of your time.
