AAMC Prospective Applicant Resources

Welcome to this special episode where we delve into the treasure trove of resources available for prospective medical school applicants. Today, we're joined by Tami Levin, MA, the Director of Premed and Applicant Resources at the AAMC, and Laura Fletcher, PhD, a senior research analyst in the Admissions & Selection Research and Development team at the AAMC.

In our conversation, they will highlight invaluable tools and guides like the Premed Competencies, the Anatomy of An Applicant Guide, the 2023 AMCAS Workbook, and the Medical School Application Guide. They'll also discuss the MSAR® online database, a vital resource for comparing U.S. and Canadian medical schools, and the Premed Navigator, a monthly newsletter packed with tips and important dates for applicants.

Join us as we navigate these resources, designed to guide learners and applicants from preparation to application, medical school, and beyond. This episode is a must-listen for anyone embarking on the journey to becoming a medical professional.
