What is Med Day?
Med Day is an all-day program on the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus dedicated to providing high school students from the Metro Detroit area with immersive, hands-on experiences in medical science. Activities and sessions will be led by university student volunteers who are members of Phi Delta Epsilon, a pre-medical fraternity at UM.
Our aim is to spark interest in the field by introducing students to essential topics they'll encounter in medical studies, connecting them with leaders from diverse backgrounds in healthcare, and discussing the challenges and barriers faced along the journey to a successful medical career. Through workshops, mini lessons, and candid discussions, students will learn about the perseverance required in the field and strategies to overcome obstacles they may encounter.
Our program aspires not only to ignite curiosity but also to empower students to envision a future in medicine, fostering self-confidence and resilience. Recognizing that many students lack role models in medicine within their communities, we strive to fill that gap, encouraging students to see themselves as future medical professionals.
