"Not all who wander are lost"

We conclude the Roadmap to Professional School series with this episode for Non-Traditional Students. Where an undergraduate pathway is relatively clear-cut, non-traditional applicants have the added challenge of forging their own path to professional school.

However, by forming a "coalition of support," understanding holistic review, leveraging the application in your favor, and using available resources, you will find that this journey doesn't have to feel isolating.

In the first episode of the Roadmap to Professional School series, Dr. Scott Wright (Executive Director of TMDSAS, JAMP, Texas Health Education Service - Research Center and Advising Network) discusses key areas freshmen should focus on mastering.

Here are some key points:

The application to medical, dental, or veterinary school begins on Day 1 of college! During the transition from high school to college, you'll want to learn how to learn deeply. Making good grades does not equal learning. Take Gen Chem as soon as possible to stay in line with the sequence of courses. College is about growth and development. Reflect on why you're pursuing the activities you're doing, what you're getting out of the experiences, and how this will make you a better healthcare professional. Build your network. Engage with professors, TAs, peers, and health professions advisors. Keep a record of your activities and what you take away from these experiences. Think positively! You're on this road for the long haul.

Dr. Irene Lazarus, former JAMP student and host of the Santopia podcast, joins us to discuss her experiences as a medical student and the journey to get there. We discuss how the program helped her reach her goal of becoming a doctor and attending UT Southwestern. 

Today’s episode is the first where we will explore different pathways after graduating from professional school. Our first guest is Dr. Irene Lazarus; she was a JAMP student who attended UT Arlington and later UT Southwestern.

During her time in JAMP, she attended a summer program at UNT-TCOM and at the Long School of Medicine. While she is a former JAMP student, her story through undergrad and medical school is surely going to resonate with a lot of our listeners. Learning about what she does now that she has graduated really opened my eyes to the opportunities available beyond the clinical setting we often associate with healthcare professionals.

When you think about a school's mission statement, it often reads like a fluff piece. However, we explore how the mission/vision/values statements for professional schools have common threads that are linked to Core Competencies.

Don't forget that the role of the admissions committee is to find applicants who support their mission/vision/values. In this episode, we’ll focus on the defined medical school core competencies as they provide a framework that nicely overlaps with the desired competencies across the health professions.
