With each year, medical school acceptance is an increasingly competitive process for premedical candidates. Circulating strategies are beginning to be overused and easily recognized. This course is here to assist applicants genuinely put their best foot forward each time on their journey through medicine.
What is this course?
It is a detailed and comprehensive plan to take prospective applicants from high school into independent medical practice. It will cover big picture layouts of the ‘marathon’ ahead and will drill down into the nitty gritty details of crafting an application. It is also the only course of it's kind that assists Canadian medical school applicants.
How is this course different?
Preparation: The more well prepared you are, the less stress you will endure throughout your premed years. This course is an investment to get you to be on top of things. Other courses only gloss over preparation (or just tell you to be well prepared) without walking you through concrete examples and exercises. This is what I want to change. You’ll see this in the way I teach, I use stories to communicate exactly what I mean, and provide the tools I wish I had when I was in your place.
Full of examples: I am a big believer of show, don’t tell. So I filled this course to the brim with examples from my life, and the lives of the people around me.
Actionable: There’s nothing that wastes my time more than a presentation that only talks about abstract concepts. The examples I put everywhere help - but I also added step by step breakdowns and excel sheets to get you from one step to the next.
Reflection: Other courses don't ask you the deeper questions, or push you to explore your motivations. This does not make an authentic applicant out of you. Being fed someone else’s well prepared answer makes you a weaker candidate in the long run and sets you back when you are ultimately required to provide your genuine reasons for pursuing medicine.
Self-Mastery: Much advice out there is focused on making you THE best applicant. Sadly, this makes you indistinguishable from the rest of the students that have received this advice as well. This course will teach you to be the best version of Yourself, which benefits you beyond your medical pursuits
Canadian: As a Canadian premed, I struggled to find the same detail of advice online as was provided to my American or UK counterparts. As a result, I wanted to create a helpful presence for my peers.
Why have I created this course?
I love being a mentor especially to students applying to medicine because nobody should do it alone. But every year I find myself answering the same questions and soothing the same anxieties. This is a place where I put answers to every question I ever got asked, with dedicated videos and excel sheets to help get you here too.
