Let's Talk About Your Future.
Healthcare Symposium for Students
Here’s What You Learned:
- When and how to start planning for your healthcare career
- Tips on preparing for college and medical school
- The daily routine of a medical and dental professional
- What you can expect from a medical career
- What it’s like to be an entrepreneur and a doctor

It was our pleasure to host our Academic Advantage healthcare symposium in partnership with the College, Career & Technical Education Department from the San Diego Unified School District at UC San Diego Park & Market in late November. Each of our speakers gave an overview of what it took for them to become the medical professionals they are today, while our college advisors gave practical advice for the next steps students should take, including college research and applications.
The resources below are designed to help you continue on your path to becoming a healthcare professional. The entire presentation is also available below as a PDF.
