Roadmap to Medical School – Sep 20
Posted by The College of Physicians of Philadelphia on August 5, 2025
Are you considering a career in medicine, or want to know what it takes to become a doctor? Join us on September 20, 10 AM to 1 PM, at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia for an inspiring event designed especially for high school and college students, along with their families and teachers.
Many people believe that getting into medical school is unattainable, but our presenters will show you why that’s not true and explain the steps you can take to make it possible. You’ll also learn about the wide range of rewarding careers available as a physician and how you can get started on your own path.
Dr. Joseph Savino, a physician at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, will share practical advice on how to prepare for and apply to medical school. Dr. Joseph Savino’s career represents a remarkable journey from a young Italian immigrant facing language barriers and economic hardship in Philadelphia to becoming one of the nation’s leading cardiac anesthesiologists and a founding father of intraoperative echocardiography. His four-decade career at Penn Medicine has been marked by groundbreaking innovation in cardiac surgery imaging, transforming patient care through the development and implementation of transesophageal echocardiography.
