Early Dedication to Medical Education
Early Dedication to Medical Education (EDME) is an outreach program designed to expose individuals to the possibility of a career in medicine. Anyone interested in becoming a physician is welcome.
Sessions feature informative presentations encompassing a variety of specialties offered within the field of medicine. They are held once a month, in the evening.
It’s easy! Just come to any of the sessions – they’re open to all high school students, parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, and anyone who has an interest in medicine.
