Read Up on Pre-Health's Resources!

In addition to the services offered by the Pre-Medicine Career Community advising team, our website also serves to highlight a library of resources and materials available to our students. To become involved with the Pre-Medicine Career Community, we encourage students to first update their Industry Interests on their  Handshake profile in order to have access to our tailored news, events, and files necessary for advising. In this section, you will find other resources related to finding success in the pre-health world. 

 

AAMC

The Association of American Medical Colleges serves as a major hub for all things medicine as well as MD specific programming. With everything from new research editorials to the students/residents site that helps prepare future physicians for a lifetime of science, the AAMC website has everything you need to stay informed as a future applicant to medical school. We highly recommend exploring this website and bookmarking worthwhile pages for later use. 

MSAR

The Medical School Admission Requirements™ (MSAR®) is an online database that enables you to browse, search, sort, and compare information about U.S. and Canadian MD based medical schools and BS/MD programs, and more. While students are required to obtain access to MSAR for the PHPAC process, it is always beneficial to know school statistics ahead of time to plan your school lists accordingly. If you have any questions about how to interpret the MSAR site, please meet with a pre-health advisor. To view MSAR on the AAMC website, use this link.
