Med School Prep Program: Activities Descriptions & Personal Statements

As a scientist and future healthcare professional you've spent YEARS preparing for the med school application: banking volunteer hours in your community, shadowing physicians to learn more about the field, working clinical jobs to refine your approach to working with patients, spending late nights in the research lab... But how much time have you spent thinking about how to share what you've LEARNED from those experiences? How do you talk about them in a personal statement? When you write about them in your activities section, how do you show the committee that all this hard work has prepared you for medical school? That's where I come in: during this session, we'll explore the two sections of the application where story-telling is imperative. We'll connect your experiences to the competencies med schools are looking for, share your stories, and show those AdComs that all of your hard work has paid off. May 5 is coming up quick; let's get to work!
