Update 2/28/2020: Although the formal deadline to RSVP is March 1st, we encourage people to RSVP up until the event (March 8th). We will submit our food order in advance of the event according to the formal deadline and therefore cannot guarantee to accommodate dietary requests submitted after this time. Likewise, the lunch order may not be sufficient should the actual attendance be unexpectedly greater than the number of RSVPs received before we submit our food order.


The Pre-Med Diversity Symposium is an annual UBC faculty-sponsored event designed to encourage people from all walks of life to apply to medical school. This event is tailored to applicants who consider themselves ‘non-traditional’ for reasons that may include having a non-science background, applying later in life, having children and family, having financial or personal hardship, or belonging to a demographic underrepresented in medicine.

The event will include speakers (faculty members, admissions staff, medical professionals, and medical students) and interactive break-out sessions to answer attendee questions. All sites will be connected via video-conference during speaker presentations. Please note that the locations are wheelchair accessible and we will be using microphones. Please let us know any other accessibility needs you may have below and we will address the needs as they arise.
