The Women in Medicine Committee invites female physicians to inspire young women considering careers in medicine and to speak about issues faced by women in healthcare.

The Princeton Premedical Society is the premier student resource for undergraduates at Princeton University considering a career in healthcare. As an umbrella organization for the entire Princeton premedical community, we are committed to actively providing our members with a holistic support network ranging from medical opportunities to speaker events to academic mentorship.

The Premeds Without Borders Committee in the Princeton Premedical Society is interested in making connections with doctors on global issues and medical care for the underprivileged. This past year we kicked off our activity with a dinner talk featuring Dr. Margaret Kilibwa of TropicalClinics, an organization aiming to increase the quality of rural healthcare in Kenya. In the coming year, we look forward to organizing dinner discussions, break trips, and other events that will allow our fellow premedical students to engage with the issues our featured speakers are involved in, as well as to experience the breadth and variety of 21st century medicine both globally and locally.

We have been in talks over the 2011-2012 year to set up partnerships with test preparation companies. We are excited to announce that effective Fall 2012, members of the Princeton Premedical Society will enjoy the following discounts off MCAT preparation courses

The Get to Know Your Professor Dinner Series is an initiative started in 2011 that seeks to create greater opportunities for students to interact with their professors outside of class. Professors are invited to give a half-hour talk in the special dining rooms of the residential colleges, followed by an informal chat with students. These events are open to all students, although RSVP on TigerCal is required.

The Freshman Premedical Mentorship Program is a program founded in 2011 that networks incoming freshmen with premedical students in their junior and senior years. Freshmen are matched with upperclassmen with similar academic backgrounds and interests, in particular but not limited to those in the medical field, to form small (five- or six-person) mentorship groups. Mentors share their experiences as premedical students at Princeton with, amongst other subjects, various courses, major choices, study habits, and extracurricular activities such as research and clinical work. They will also encourage their freshmen to consult the Health Professions Advising Office for specific questions regarding medical schools and professions. During the year, the Princeton Premedical Society will also hold social events that all participants in the program are encouraged to attend. The goal of the program is to foster a strong sense of community among premedical students of all classes and to provide freshmen with a personal resource they can turn to for peer perspectives on any and all questions they may have as they prepare at Princeton for a successful future career in the field of medicine.
