Pre-Health Club |
|
 |
The Pre-Health Club is a student organization within the College
of Sciences for students interested in health related professions (but
anyone can join!). Working closely with the Pre-Health Advising Committee
and Faculty Advisor Ralph Stevens, the club sponsors ongoing activities
including the Speaker Seminar series, which takes place during activity
hour on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. At each seminar,
students can enjoy lunch (provided free of charge) and get valuable information
about the different Pre-Health programs available at Old Dominion University,
and interact with various admissions officers from regional medical schools
(such as Virginia Commonwealth University and Eastern Virginia Medical
School), dental schools, and related graduate programs, who are often invited
to speak. In addition to the Speaker Seminars, the Pre-Health Club also
conducts several "Test Drives" (sponsored by Kaplan) each semester.
At these Test Drives, students get practice taking exams that are often
required for admission into graduate programs, such as the MCAT, LSAT,
GRE, and GMAT. Joining the Pre-Health Club is a great benefit for
students of any major, not just those interested in the health professions.
The club is not only active in many campus activities but members also
provide numerous hours of community service, both individually and as a
student organization. Last year, the Pre-Health Club, in conjunction
with Tri-Beta (the Biological Sciences Honor Society), sponsored a Red
Cross blood drive and raised more than 150 pints of blood, a record number
for Old Dominion University. This year, the club participated in
the American Heart Association (AHA) Walk-A-Thon, raising more than $500
for the association. Members also volunteer at the Food Bank, sorting
food in the early morning hours (5 a.m. on Saturdays, yikes!) for
the SHARE program. With more than 100 members, the Pre-Health Club
spans a broad range of ages and backgrounds.
