With a new school year beginning, pre-med students should be setting themselves up to submit their best medical school applications come spring. In that spirit, we're sharing our first-party data on admissions trends. Every year we survey medical school admissions officers throughout the country to get their latest insights, and these are our most notable findings: - A low MCAT score is the biggest deal breaker in the primary application, followed next by lack of clinical experience and then low GPA - Committees want students to look at the application in a holistic manner and show their passion for medicine - “Using a holistic review process, we want to not only see metrics and experiences but also want to get an idea of the student’s personality and drive to be a physician.” - Half of all admissions officers stated that they are in the process of discussing and developing an AI use policy - Some are even using technology to identify AI usage in essays - More than two-thirds believe that what is posted on social media is “fair game” to help make admissions decisions To work with an admissions expert and navigate all of these nuances, we're happy to offer students Medical School Admissions Consulting: https://lnkd.in/g29Fngfs [Admissions officers from accredited medical schools across North America were polled by phone and e-mail between August and December 2023.]

Medical school vs. real world: What doctors aren't prepared for The medical education system excels at providing physicians with the academic knowledge they need. However, it falls short in preparing them for the realities of a career in medicine. Many of my guests have shared that upon graduating and entering their first job, they find the experience quite different from their expectations during medical school and residency. The business aspects of today's healthcare are often an unexpected challenge.

There will be a survey soon. Medical educators can be on the lookout. ?? The role of preparation time in medical education is vital and not to be taken for granted! As educators, our preparation efforts lay the foundation for enriching learning experiences and elevating outcomes in the medical field . If an educator receives a good feedback for the quality of a session it will not be too far relatable to a decent prep time! .....well...vice versa. As you know, I will find the most applicable educational theory.....?? The Cognitive Load Theory underscores the significance of well-prepared educational content, reducing cognitive load and enhancing understanding (Sweller, 1988). The main reason we may need to do a conduct a survey will be to establish a consensus of what should be regarded as adequate prep time? While specific studies on optimal preparation time in medical education are limited, research in higher education suggests a ratio of 2:1 preparation to teaching time (Huston, 2009).?? True to False. Any other suggestions or existing evidence? Here at @UniversityOfNottingham, there is a robust curriculum covering all the expected and the uni exemplifies the benefits of structured preparatory protocols, fostering student engagement and improved outcomes. Bottomline is: Let's recognize the crucial role of preparation in medical education and advocate for policies that allocate sufficient time for educators to prepare effectively.

Reflecting on a profound journey: From a 4th-year med student to teaching them. Today, I had the privilege of conducting an OSCE examination station for our 4th-year medical students. Witnessing these bright minds at the cusp of their medical careers brought back a flood of memories from my own days in their shoes. It's a surreal feeling to see students you've watched grow, now graduating and stepping into the roles they've worked so hard for. It makes me appreciate the unique journey each student embarks on in the world of medicine. Being an emergency physician and an educator, I've realized that my experiences are not just my own. They are tools to inspire, to teach, and to guide the next generation of medical professionals. It's about bringing your life's work full circle, from learning to teaching, and seeing the impact firsthand. The evolution of medical education is a testament to our collective growth. It challenges us to be better, to innovate, and to pass on what we've learned. And as I stood there, among the future of medicine, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pride and responsibility. To all the students making their way through the rigors of medical school: Your journey is unique, your dreams valid, and your potential limitless. Here's to shaping the future, one patient, one student, one breakthrough at a time. #MedicalEducation #OSCE #Journey #Teaching #FutureDoctors ??

In August, Callum W. and I were elected to co-chair the education portfolio for medical students at the British Medical Association In this article we briefly set out how we plan to do that. I’m excited for what’s to come! What do we want to do with the role? Give medical students a voice. I’m a passionate believer in leading by consent. To lead a group in a way that inspires and motivates, you must have buy-in from those you make decisions on behalf of; you must bring them with you. Doctors and medical students are a unique group. A supply of medical professionals to all parts of the country is of significant interest to government, and the NHS. This means that many aspects of medical student’s education and particularly their transition into employment, are decided centrally. Statutory bodies that students have little input into and limited power over make decisions that affect thousands of student’s life and career planning. When changes are made, there is a tendency for students themselves not to be involved in the process. Consultation, communication and bringing the group along with you, falls by the wayside. Leading by consent doesn’t always happen. This erodes their agency and that’s what we want to change. But baby steps first. Like this article. https://lnkd.in/eqRRe9Uj
