Times
Daytime

We do not have a meeting place for this group yet.

Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Register for the summit through the events page, or, if you are a college sophomore, use the Apply Today button on the PADMed page..

Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

A summit visit is a full day, 8 am to 4 pm, with a keynote, interactive workshops such as restorative practices and cultural humility, and a poster competition. The site does not say what the summit costs. PADMed scholars meet an advisor each semester and attend monthly programming.

Tips for your first visit

  • Read the full agenda before you register so you can pick the workshops you want.
  • Email programs@philacdhe.org with PADMed questions before you apply.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The summit is open to anyone who registers. PADMed needs an application and grade requirements, so it is not an open door..

Cost and commitment

Cost
Cost not known yet. The summit fee is not stated on the site. For PADMed scholars, the site says the program covers summer housing, transportation, and a food stipend, and provides SEPTA passes and meals for in-person sessions.
