Description
This course is designed for students who are nearing the time in their academic careers to begin preparation for applying to medical school. The primary focus is to help students prepare for the medical school application process by teaching them about how to best portray themselves and their accomplishments using tools such as the premed planner, the Medical School Admissions Requirements (MSAR) website, AMCAS, and more. Students will not only learn about resources for applying, but also reflect on themselves within the context of becoming future physicians. These objectives will be met by the following: (1) Provide information on the resources available when applying to medical schools. (2) Expand networking opportunities with professionals in this area. (3) Offer opportunities to develop quality components of the medical school application through practice and feedback from peers and the instructor. (4) Provide students with vital information for them to make informed decisions that impact their medical school applications.
