Workshops are one of the most valuable opportunities MPO offers to its members. They are designed to build the knowledge, skills, and confidence you’ll need as a future healthcare professional. By participating, you not only gain hands-on experience and professional preparation, but you also earn points toward your MPO membership requirements.
All workshops will be discussed during general meetings, where we will go over how to sign up, attendance expectations, and the location of each session. Information will also be shared on our website and posted in the MPO GroupMe so members can stay up to date.
MPO Workshops
Medical Spanish
Effective communication is essential in healthcare, especially in communities with diverse patient backgrounds. This workshop introduces you to medical terminology in Spanish and teaches strategies for building trust with patients who are more comfortable speaking Spanish.
MCAT Workshops
The MCAT is a critical step for many pre-medical students. Our workshops, led by both faculty and experienced student mentors, focus on proven study techniques, resources, and tips to help you prepare with confidence.
Stop the Bleed & BLS (Basic Life Support)
These nationally recognized trainings teach you how to respond quickly in life-threatening emergencies. You’ll gain practical skills in CPR, bleeding control, and basic emergency response—skills that are valuable in both clinical and community settings.
Interview Workshops
Getting into health professional schools requires strong interview performance. These workshops allow you to practice common and scenario-based questions, sharpen your communication skills, and develop the confidence to present your best self.
Resume & Application Workshops
Your resume and application materials are your first impression to schools and programs. These workshops show you how to highlight your unique experiences, structure your application effectively, and stand out in a competitive applicant pool.
