2022 AMWA Premedical Division Program Book 

Nontraditional Resources

In November, we hosted a Non-traditional Student Seminar Series where medical student panelists were asked to speak on topics pertaining to the application process, taking gap years, MCAT prep, and overcoming setbacks through the experience of a non-traditional student perspective.

Many non-traditional students who are career changers or have taken large gap years have difficulty finding mentors and resources, and lack the school advising services that help students navigate the medical school application process. This series of seminars allowed current medical students with diverse backgrounds and pathways into medicine to share their experiences, insights, resources, and advice to non-traditional pre-medical student members hoping to apply to medical school.

In case you missed our nontraditional speaker series, check out our resource document and login to access the zoom recordings!

Interview Tips Tutorial

The Medical Student Division has prepared a small tutorial on a few interview strategies that we have found to work well when preparing for the medical school interview trail. While interviewing as well, considering using the AMWA Student Hosting Program to stay at AMWA members’ homes in the locations that you are interviewing. This will allow you to connect with AMWA members while saving some money for your celebration once you’ve gotten into medical school!

List of Global Health Programs for Premedical Students

Volunteering abroad is a wonderful way to experience a whole new perspective on medicine, public health, or another culture in general! However, sometimes the decision of which program to choose or which organization to get involved with can seem daunting as there are so many out there! Our pre-med team has compiled a list of organizations and programs that do amazing work with the communities they partner with. These organizations range from participating in community development work in Peru to assisting with vision and eye care in Armenia. If you’re interested in volunteering or interning internationally, but don’t know where to start, feel free to explore this list! You can also reach out to our Global Health Chair for more information on any of these organizations, or to request to add a new program to the list!
