GET INVOLVED – HERE’S HOW
An important part of your preparation for a health profession is
involvement in activities where you can learn about the profession,
about service to others, about leadership, teamwork and
understanding.
Did you know that there are many Tufts groups that provide
opportunities to do just that? Visit our home page at
http://uss.tufts.edu/hpa to
find a link to a list of those groups. Don’t forget the Leonard
Carmichael society – Tufts’ largest and oldest service organization
– that runs dozens of service programs
http://ase.tufts.edu/lcs. And
