Canadian Medical Schools
by Brady Kinesia (Posted Sat Mar 08, 2014 4:22 pm)Not many Canadian medical schools accept applicants from the USA. The AMCAS site says that 17 Canadian medical schools are members but that doesn't mean that you can apply to all of them internationally, it just means that they may use the MCAT exam as an entrance requirementhttps://members.aamc.org/eweb/DynamicPa ... l%20SchoolI got interviewed at McGill University medical school in Montreal which is the top school in Canada, and submitting the MCAT was optional in their applicationsTo answer the main question, yes the few programs that would accept you applying from abroa...

interview demeanor
by elitea (Posted Thu Mar 06, 2014 9:29 am)Hi hdlewis,I'd say that interviews for medical school is extremely important. During the interview, you are meeting face-to-face with faculty/staff from the school, giving them the first impression of who you are as a person and student, deciding if you and the school are compatible, and proving yourself as a future medical professional.Don't just take my word for it, though. From the website of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), I found other professionals' opinions about the importance of medical school interviews: https://www.aamc.org/students/aspiring/ ... ...

Also, Lieber mentioned that HIMSS has not signed on to a letter from 48 organizations—led by CHIME—to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, calling for more time and flexibility in meeting Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements., Lieber said HIMSS declined to sign because the requests were, in his opinion, “very vague.”

by Percival B (Posted Mon Dec 30, 2013 8:22 am)It's likely that you will have completed all of the requirements if you have the Biology & Chemistry degrees. One thing mentioned in the AAMC is "a year of English", so you may have to check to see whether your non-science work qualifies :https://www.aamc.org/students/applying/requirements/And also individual school requirements of particular medical schools you want to apply to (Source: Med Student Guide)

How technology will revolutionize medical training
Recently, I attended the annual AAMC meeting where the question, “What will medical education look like in 2033?” was asked in a session called “Lightyears Beyond Flexner.”
After this thought-provoking session, I too pondered academic medicine’s fate. I would like to share my reflections in this forum.
Without question, technology stood out as a major theme in this conference. And for good reason: clearly it is already permeating every corner of our academic medical lives. But as technology outpaces our clinical and educational methods, how exactly will it affect our practices in providing care and in training ph...

When evaluating physician and nurse shortages, consider the source
‘Alarming’ Physician Shortages Lie Ahead, according to a HealthLeaders headline that’s bound to raise your blood pressure. Chances are you’ve seen even scarier articles about the looming nursing shortage, with predictions of a shortage of hundreds of thousands of nurses in the coming decades.
We do have serious doctor and nurse workforce issues in this country and we need to plan for the future, but before you get too worked up, it makes sense to consider the source of these pronouncements. The latest doctor shortage warning is brought to us by the Association of American Medical Colleges, a group w...

Research in Medical Education (RIME) Conference
Every year an important meeting for medical educators and researchers is the Research in Medical Education (RIME) Conference, which forms part of the American Association of Medical Colleges Annual Meeting.
The 2013 Annual AAMC Meeting runs from November 1-6 in Philadelphia. Read the abstracts here [see p. 2-3].

EMT with 4 years Experience
by Enot (Posted Sun Oct 27, 2013 12:12 pm)A good way to think about it is as the MCAT, as in singular. You should only take it one time. People do take it multiple times, but this is not a recipe for success. Here is the AAMC (test admin) website: www.aamc.org/students/applying/mcat/To answer your 34 question, yeah, a 34 will get you into medical school, if your GPA is good, by which I mean 3.6 or higher. Here is a site to take practice tests: www.e-mcat.com. See how you can do. Above 30... Good chance. Chances get better as score gets higher. Below 30... Weaker as score goes down. I am going to be very blun...

What are they waiting for?
In the late 1990's, during one of the booms in the biotech and pharmaceutical fields, a number of faculty members at Harvard Medical School felt they were missing out on the potential financial gains from being affiliated with companies in these sectors. Such interactions were actually envisioned and indeed encouraged by the Congress in 1980, in the hope of speeding up the adoption of new diagnostics tools, medical devices, and drugs. The expansion of activity, though, led faculty members to ask Dean Joseph Martin to loosen up the schools' conflict of interest rules to permit more and broader relationships. (I ...
