ABOUT US.
We founded the Georgia Tech chapter of the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students in Spring 2013 as 7 undergraduate students with a mission is to promote the success and excellence of students in pursuit of a medical career with an emphasis on increasing diversity in health care. We do our best to give our members the chance to speak with medical schools, medical students, recruiters, and practicing physicians. We also focus on discovering ways to serve the needs and interests of our members by connecting them with opportunities for internships, research, study abroad, and community service. In addition to making academic resources readily available, our core and utmost important goal is providing them with the guidance, direction, and support they need to ensure that their future aspirations become their biography.
