Pre-Dental Club<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the club is to unite all pre-dental students and work collaboratively to
learn about the dental school admissions process. The club provides useful
information regarding the Dental Admission Test (DAT), volunteering and shadowing
opportunities, required courses, and more. The club also schedules guest lecturers with people in the field such as dentists and dental students. The Club\u2019s goal is for all members to be fully prepared to apply, and ultimately be accepted, to dental schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doc-Opp: URI Pre-Med Club<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of Doc Opp is to develop and foster a close-knit community of hard-working students who share the goal of reaching allopathic or osteopathic medical school. This organization familiarizes students with the medical school admissions process, as well as the skills and requirements necessary to compete in this process. Doc Opp offers early exposure to the MCAT, guest lectures, and skills workshops. Additionally, Doc Opp coordinates shadowing opportunities for its members, so that they may acquire field experience during their undergraduate years. Our greatest ambition is to send more and more Rams to medical school every year, and to put Rhody on the map in the medical profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Physical Therapy Club<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Pre-PT Club allows students to explore Physical Therapy as a potential career! All students are welcome to club meetings. The Pre-PT Club meets 5 times a semester, which makes it a very low commitment club. Meetings are conversation based as members can ask the current Physical Therapy students questions regarding graduate school, general advice, and anything they are interested in. There are hands on activities (i.e. learning how to use modalities and different techniques) and a tour of the cadaver lab, which gives you first hand experience in the world of a future Physical Therapy student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
