  • Events badge: Attend a pre-dental program and one American Medical Student Association (AMSA) meeting or event each semester.

  • Free choice badge: Students must choose one pre-dental resource or activity outside of Regis each semester.
  • Career services badge: Students attend one event offered by the Career Services Office each semester.
