Raising a Future Doctor? A Parent’s Guide to High School & Pre-Med Planning
Friday, November 6 | 6:00 - 7:00 PM PT | Zoom Webinar
A parent’s guide to supporting a future doctor through high school, college planning, and the pre-med path.
Does your child dream of becoming a doctor, but you’re unsure how to guide them or where to find the right resources? Between choosing high school courses, finding meaningful activities, and planning for college, it can be hard to know where to begin.
Join 7EDU for a conversation with an experienced pre-med college planning advisor about navigating the pre-med journey. Through real student case studies, we’ll explore the decisions families face throughout high school and how to support a student’s growing interest in medicine.
Questions We’ll Explore
- Pre-Med and Choosing a Major: What is pre-med, and which major should your child choose? How does that choice connect to a future medical school application?
- High School Course Selection: Which high school courses should an aspiring pre-med student take? How should families weigh course rigor, GPA, and their child’s workload?
- Meaningful Extracurriculars: Hospital volunteering, physician shadowing, research, competitions, or community service—what matters most? How can families find opportunities without personal connections?
- Standing Out: What helps a student stand out? Is research essential, and are more volunteer hours always better?
- Choosing a College for Pre-Med: What matters most: rankings, GPA, research opportunities, access to hospitals, or advising?
- A Grade 9–12 Roadmap: What should students prioritize each year? When should they explore different interests, deepen their involvement, and begin preparing for applications?
- Real Student Case Studies: What can families learn from different paths?
Who Should Attend
Parents and middle and high school students interested in medicine, especially families seeking guidance on course selection, extracurricular opportunities, and college planning.
