From CUNY to Harvard Medical School
Join us for an engaging discussion with Dr. Elliot Melendez, a pediatric emergency physician at Boston Children’s Hospital; a physician triple board certified in pediatrics, pediatric critical care and pediatric emergency medicine; and a Harvard Medical School graduate. A high school dropout from the South Bronx, Dr. Melendez entered Lehman in 1989 after earning his GED. Working full-time while attending class, he was forced to leave school during his junior year to support his wife and newborn child. But his determination led him to return two years later and ultimately to graduate cum laude with a biology major in 1995. His research focuses on the evaluation of severe infection in infants and children, and he is also involved in a telemedicine initiative with the Hospital Buen Samaritano in rural Puerto Rico in which knowledge and expertise are shared via telemedicine technology. He will be coming to Hunter College to talk about his non-traditional path, and to answer any questions pre-med and pre-health students may have.
Giving Back: A Pre-Health Panel on Volunteerism
Volunteer work is an important component of any pre health trajectory. Join us for a panel of post baccalaureate students sharing their volunteer experiences, both medical and non-medical. Learn how to find exciting volunteer opportunities here in New York City and abroad. Refreshments will be provided.
Time management for Pre-Health Students

This workshop is strongly recommended for students who are struggling academically or who are preparing to apply to professional schools.
