Does Temple have a Facebook group and has anyone heard anything about a second look at LKSOM?
Temple will have a Facebook group for accepted students later in the cycle.

Also, currently an M2, transitioning into clerkships. My class was the first to go through the new one pass curriculum, so happy to answer any questions! Feel free to contact me via DM.

Hello, I have an interview for temple's post bac program and I heard that the interview is similar to the actual med school interview. Could someone explain what the group interview with the North Philadelphia community member is like? Are the questions the typical interview questions or are they focused on certain types of questions, such as ethical or something related to community service?

There is little we can tell you without violating the NDA - but I can tell you that my group interview definitely felt a lot more conversational than my faculty interviews. I think they more want to get a feel of how you are perceived by the actual patient population they serve, as well as how you operate in a group setting. Best of luck!

Just got put on the continuing candidates list :/ Interviewed in March. Not really surprised as it kinda felt like my main faculty interviewer was interrogating me/didn’t want to be there. Oh well!
 
Also placed on the continuing candidate list. The interview went well enough, but this seemed like the most likely outcome given how late in the cycle my interview was.

Do first year students get to interact with real patients through the doctoring colleges?
Yes, you are assigned to a preceptor who you will need to shadow a certain number of times in your first year. You are also welcome to contact other preceptors (in your college or other colleges) for opportunities as well. The preceptors may pick out patients for you to practice interacting with, like taking histories and/or doing physical exams depending on far along you are in doctoring.

Are you doing anything active in using the medical skills you learned in Philly ( preferably pertaining to TEACH/THRIVE clinics)? I really want to get some insight into what it's like.
