Hello! I watched the IA Global Health and Pre-Medicine Panel on March 23, 2021. This panel was very engaging and informative. I intend on applying to medical school in approximately a year, so getting this exposure to medical students at The Ohio State University College of Medicine is amazing. They had four panelists present that shared their passion for traveling, their involvements, and future goals. Their insight into the transition from undergraduate education to medical school was relieving because they stressed that, although medical students do have to study a lot, there is time to have a social life and be yourself. Moreover, I resonated with their advice to do things that you really enjoy during undergrad. As a pre-medicine student, there is a lot of pressure to get a certain number of hours and activities or else medical schools won’t be interested in you. Each panelist came from a different background with many different interests and experiences, which really outlined how they were able to balance getting the “necessary” requirements while still enjoying their life in college. Lastly, they shared some tips on the medical school application process. Their tips included applying early, getting everything organized right away, only apply to schools that you are willing to write the secondary essays for, and staying true to yourself. This was an amazing panel, and I loved listening to their advice and experiences.
