Highlights important factors to consider when preparing your application to any medical school -The Duke admissions team has long been the gold standard

[Duke University School of Medicine @DukeMedSchool]

#DukeMed is not looking for typical medical students. That’s why the admissions process is tailor-made to go beyond transcripts and test scores to identify students who will not only thrive but also have a significant impact throughout their careers.

An important read as you prepare for interactions with patients/people - think how this would have informed your secondaries #premed

[AMA Code of Medical Ethics @AMAEthicsCode]

Avoiding harm requires clinicians not over rely on assumptions about “normal” embodiment, write @chloegkatkins and Sunit Das, MD, PhD: https://t.co/RrdBZc6si9

https://t.co/8lbvPrJgzo One of my favorite interview questions is "What are you reading now?" This list has some great possibilities. Make great use of your summer. @premeds @FutureDocs

@jeannemfarnan Please don’t ever change — I have known you since you were a college freshman and your insights continue to startle me — thank you

Too many messages get in the way of our premeds focusing on a love of learning and service - in my experience, that is what will allow them to become effective physician leaders

[Abigail Cooley @cooleyabigailm]

In a meeting for an admissions committee, and audience members were saying volunteering isn’t enough anymore. Applicants should have started NPOs or businesses. The director replied “I’m very concerned that we’re burning premeds out before they even start medical school.” ‼️

Thank the Royal Family of 1940-1941. Ponder where America and Britain would be today if whoever was British monarch at the time had cowered in front of the Nazis and tried (as many in London and Washington were demanding) to end the European war by making a deal with Hitler.

BIG NEWS: The House of Representatives has passed my bipartisan resolution calling on medical schools, residency, and fellowship programs to provide nutrition education that demonstrates for providers the connection between diet and disease.

[AMCAS @AMCASinfo]

When entering your coursework on the #AMCAS app, make sure you use your official transcript. This is important because your unofficial transcript may contain different information. https://t.co/ACEkK8ifhj
