NANO-MED SCHOOL PROGRAM
​Progress Report

​​With over 50 participants, including an audience filled with future physicians and our internationally acclaimed speakers, the U-Beyond Nano Medical School Workshop held on Saturday, July 30th was a great success!  

Attendees were inspired by talks from U-Beyond members, Omar Lattouf, MD and Heval Kelli, MD, who also put these future medical doctors to the test when they were challenged to "think like a physician" during an interactive and lively case study presentation.   

Mary Elizabeth Sexton, MD guided attendees on how to begin a career in medicine with balance, discussed what it means to be a doctor, and provided an overview on a day in the life of a physician.

John Francis, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine at the AU/UGA Partnership, provided tips on applying to medical school, test taking advice, and the medical school curriculum structure. U-Beyond member, Rami Arfoosh, MD  led the panel discussion on medical school requirements and what these schools are looking for in medical school student candidates.
