Here’s more, in part, from the workshop description:

Are you at a community college and confused about the medical school process? Are you not certain of the difference between transferring and getting into medical school? Are you uncertain of what steps to take? Have you heard of a timeline but are not sure how it relates to your path to medicine?

Then you must attend this workshop led by 4th year UCSD medical student and former community college student, Alexandra, who will go over in detail the steps you need to take to be best prepared and not fall behind.
