PPAP 1003-Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine Information Session

Join us to hear from Dr. Hilda Williams, Assistant Dean of Admissions, and Dr. Mekbib Gemeda, Senior Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine.

Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine is a diverse and inclusive medical school with a unique curriculum that prepares students for the future of medicine. Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine (SOM), New Jersey's only private medical school, strives to select future physicians who will accept the challenge of improving population health and the patient experience while reducing the overall cost of care.

The SOM seeks applicants whose experiences, as described in the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) publication “Roadmap to Excellence: Key Concepts for Evaluating the Impact of Medical School Holistic Admissions,” will bring added value to the learning environment and evidence a commitment to serve their community. Students who enter the SOM will be members of what we envision being a large history of outstanding physicians. These students will also help us form a medical school dedicated to providing each person in New Jersey, and in the United States, regardless of race or socioeconomic status, the highest level of wellness in an economically and behaviorally sustainable fashion.

With outstanding, world-class clinical and academic affiliates, and our Clifton/Nutley campus located in close proximity to New York City, SOM offers students opportunities available nowhere else."
