    These are a series of presentations held each spring at UW, led by the Associate Dean for Admissions, Dr. Carol Teitz. The content focuses on re-applying to the University of Washington School of Medicine, but first time applicants will also find the information useful. This is a great opportunity to get answers to many of your questions.

    If you cannot attend the sessions in person, they will be broadcast as Live Webinars from 4:00-5:00 Pacific Standard Time.  Silverlight is required to view the live or recorded webinars. Download free Silverlight here.
