The MEDucate program's Application Aspects webinar series serves to provide pre-health students the opportunity to learn about the ins and outs of how to prepare for medical school applications and beyond. Students that have undergone the process will discuss topics including research, clinical and non-clinical extracurriculars, personal statements, activity descriptions, shadowing, secondaries, interview prep, gap years, and so much more! These videos will be accompanied by information packets and templates that can be accessed on our website anytime for you to revisit throughout your premed journey. Join us for an opportunity to learn about how to optimize your success as a future healthcare professional!
