Seminar Series Overview

This seminar series is designed to equip Pre-Health students with the essential skills and tools needed to build a strong credentials portfolio. Each session focuses on developing the core competencies necessary for a successful application to health professions graduate programs.

Who Should Attend

These seminars are especially beneficial for freshmen, transfer students, and anyone exploring the Pre-Health track.

Mandatory Attendance

All new Hunter College freshmen and transfer students pursuing the Pre-Health track are required to attend.

Attendance Policy

To ensure full participation and engagement, students must adhere to the following attendance guidelines:

  • Punctuality: Arriving more than 5 minutes late will result in being marked absent.
  • Full Session Attendance: Students must remain present for the entire duration of each seminar. Leaving early will result in being marked absent.
  • Zoom Seminar Conduct: Do not attempt to attend multiple Zoom seminars at the same time. This is a violation of the Pre-Health attendance policy and will result in being marked absent from all overlapping sessions.
  • Camera Requirement: Cameras must remain on for the entire session. If your camera is not working, please resolve the issue before the seminar. We recommend downloading the Zoom app and using a phone or tablet if necessary. Students who are not visible on camera will be marked absent.
  • Make-Up Policy: If you miss a seminar, you must attend the same seminar in the following semester.
  • Excessive Absences: Missing more than three seminars in a semester will require you to repeat the entire seminar series.
  • Class Conflicts: If you have a class scheduled during seminar times, you must plan to register for the seminar series in a future semester.

Post-Seminar Assignment

After each seminar, you are required to submit a Post-Seminar Reflection Assignment.

This reflection should:
  • Clearly explain what you learned during the session.
  • Include specific facts or insights discussed in the seminar.
  • Demonstrate your active listening and written communication skills.
Important Notes
  • Quality Matters: Single-sentence responses are not acceptable. Your reflection should be thoughtful, detailed, and well-written.
  • Academic Integrity: Plagiarized, unclear, or AI-generated responses will result in an absence.
  • Additional Assignments: Some seminars may include extra assignments with separate deadlines. Be sure to review all instructions provided in the PPAP syllabus.
  • Submission Deadline
    • Assignments are due following each seminar. The specific details regarding assignments is indicated in the PPAP syllabus.

THIS SYLLABUS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PLEASE CHECK THE GOOGLE DOC WEEKLY FOR ANY CHANGES.
