Info

This is going to be an exciting day. This is more than just a one-hour tour of the medical school. You will experience being a medical student and get a picture of what medical school is like. We are going to spend the day at UC Davis Medical School. We will sit in classes with medical students, talk to them, be in their small group discussions, get a tour of the school, talk to their faculty, meet the Dean of Admission, and be paired with medical students for the day.

This is a great opportunity to see what medical school is like and talk to close to 200 medical students. Some of them were where you are today. In a matter of fact, we are being hosted by 3 former AMSA ARC Officers who are first-year students at UCDSOM.

 

Rules

We expect everyone to behave properly. You are being invited to medical students' classrooms, and into their daily lives, so we expect you to show them respect and gratitude for opening up their classrooms and lives to you. You will be sitting in classrooms with them. We expect you to be pay attention to the class, sit up straight, not sleep, not do homework; don't act bored, or draw attention. If you are unable to follow the above statements, we ask you not to come. You will ruin the chances of us ever going back. We will also ask you to leave the premises if this occurs.

The policies above are NOT open for discussion or interpretation!

We apologize for having to write this, but in the past, people have acted this way on our trips, and we have not been invited back.

 

Dress Code

We expect you to dress appropriately and professionally. You do not need to wear a suit, but we ask you to wear something appropriate and professional. No T-shirts, jeans, or clothes with holes in them. You are guests at the medical school, and the way you dress will show how much you appreciate the hospitality of students and faculty there.

 

Example:

Men: Slacks (no jeans), button up shirt, shoes (no sandals).

Women: Slacks or Skirt, shirt, blouse, and shoes (no sandals).
