Enroll in Career Counseling

 

A career counselor will assess your readiness for medical school, interest in specialties, required training, timelines, career trajectories, and expected outcomes. We will also assist in setting realistic expectations concerning work-life balance, salary prospects, and career advancement.

  • Tailoring applications to specific schools.
  • Refining career goals.
  • Addressing potential challenges.
  • Creating a practical plan for success in the medical industry.

The primary objective of these action-oriented sessions is to help you map out your personal journey, ensuring that you are well-prepared, effective, and capable of achieving your goals.

Learning Outcomes

  • Address shortcomings in medical school applications
  • Create persuasive, personalized essays for secondary medical school applications
