Life at NEOMED is more than academics
Specialty Speed Dating Dinner
The Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) and the Academy of Medicine of Cleveland & Northern Ohio (AMCNO) host an annual Specialty Speed Dating Dinner in January. The session gives M1, M2, and M3 students the opportunity to spend time with physicians from different potential fields of specialty interest while interacting in an informal setting.
The goal of the Specialty Speed Dating Dinner is to encourage students to make important connections with practicing physicians early in their tenure as medical students by interacting with NEOMED alumni and clinical faculty in a “speed dating” format.
