Inside Admissions: University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine PSTP

Inside Admissions is an exclusive speaker series that brings medical school admissions professionals together with Case Western Reserve University students and alumni for candid conversations about the admissions process. Through these school-specific sessions, students gain insight directly from admissions decision-makers while medical schools have the opportunity to communicate with our highly engaged pre-med population. Each session features a participating medical school and may include an overview of the institution's mission and curriculum, insights into the admissions process and applicant review, advice for prospective applicants, and an opportunity for live student questions. Tonight, we will welcome Blair Douglass, Director of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine's Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP).
