Workshop Description:
If you have ever wondered what emergency medicine is really like The Pitt, fast-paced stereotypes, and second-hand opinions, this workshop is for you. Designed for community college and university premed students, this session offers an honest look at the journey from college to medical school to residency in one of the most dynamic fields in medicine. Dr. Emily Allison, MD, a PGY-3 Emergency Medicine resident at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, will share what drew her to emergency medicine, what training is actually like, and how she has balanced the demands of residency, education, and new motherhood. She will also discuss how students can begin preparing now through academics, clinical exposure, curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to learn in high-pressure environments. You can come, ask your questions and get answers in a supportive and practical conversation about medicine, training, and life in the emergency department. Most importantly, come hear directly from the source instead of second-hand or bad information or people who have no clue about the admission process. Leave inspired, informed, and motivated.
About the Speaker:
