Details: Want an idea of the first year of medical school? PREP is a professional development model designed to help you plan for a successful medical school experience and a smooth transition into your future role as a physician. The acronym PREP stands for four professional skills that are key to your academic success and future career-
* Planning throughout the medical school program to identify and successfully achieve your goals.
* Developing resilience and tenacity to thrive through personal and professional changes.
* Practicing active engagement in acquiring skills necessary to attain your academic and career goals. 
* Attaining high standards of professionalism in the classroom and the clinics.
This one-day workshop will cover all the details of the first year including: an overview and study tips for each systems course, a preview of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, etiquette for working in the clinics, basic clinical skills (blood pressure), a timeline of the next four years, and a chance to ask questions to current student doctors. If you really want to get ahead, this is the course for you!
