Saturday, August 1st, the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs welcomes all parents of incoming medical students to join us for the Parent Orientation information session.
Parents are invited to have an opportunity to meet the Dean of the Medical School and other members of the faculty and staff while students take their White Coat photo in the Murphy building. A light breakfast will be served.
The T1 Retreat is a student-only event for all new and returning first-year students to get to know one another and engage with the unique history of New Orleans, where students will be getting their medical training over the next 4 years. The T1 retreat experience happens in the spring.
