What do medical schools look for in an applicant? What makes for a compelling personal statement? How do medical schools build a class?
Join Aileen Panitz, admissions director of the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College, for a presentation about Geisel’s program and the general medical school admissions process.
Geisel’s program is designed around the “complete” physician — one who excels in the basic sciences, delivers outstanding clinical care, discovers and shares new knowledge and works to improve systems of healthcare delivery. Experiential learning and clinical work is included across all four years of training, with a focus on compassionate, patient- and family-centered care that addresses the “whole” patient. Geisel strives to foster a strong, supportive community both on and off campus by making community service and health care delivery science integral parts of its curriculum, in order to prepare students for future careers across the entire spectrum of medical practice.
