Are you planning a career in the health sciences?
 
Curious about the application and admission process to professional schools?
 

Then attend our gathering on Wednesday, January 30 at 5:30pm in the Special Events Room, Port-Sky.

 
Dr. John Joyce and Dr. Alice Plummer Joyce, medical doctors in our area and alumni of Penn State Altoona will be our guests to tell you about the process and answer your questions.
 

"From Penn State-Altoona to medical school.......been there, done that, and you can too."

 
Please know that this information also will be helpful if you plan to apply to programs in dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, etc.  There are many similarities among these very competitive programs.
 
·        It’s okay to be late.  We’ll probably be there until at least 7:00pm.
·        We’re serving pizza and soda, so your appetite is welcome too.

Take a close-up look inside the skeletal, muscular, respiratory, and circulatory systems as you come face-to-face with polymer-preserved human bodies.  These meticulously dissected bodies are preserved through an innovative process called polymer preservation and are respectfully presented.  Approximately 200 additional organs and partial specimens reveal the intricacies and complexities that lie beneath your skin.” http://www.carnegiesciencecenter.org/bodies
