Oops. I am still new to the forums. This is for the pre-med WAMC, can a mod move it? I live closer to the Memphis side. I have not connected with SNMA. Should I apply to them?Welcome to the forums.
Noting you posted in the vet med WAMC forum. Is this appropriate since you are tagging me, Goro, and Faha? (Note for Moderator.)
Do you live closer to the Memphis side or the Nashville/Knoxville side of the state for college? Have you connected with SNMA and any mentoring organizations focused on Black aspiring physicians? SAVMA (if you are interested in veterinary medicine)?

Yes, you definitely need more clinical exposure. You have a lot on shadowing, so more action that is clearly patient-facing will help.Oops. I am still new to the forums.

Okay! I get patient-facing interaction from the job I listed above. Mostly through phlebotomy Do you mean like I should do something like CNA or scribing?Yes, you definitely need more clinical exposure. You have a lot on shadowing, so more action that is clearly patient-facing will help.
Definitely check out SNMA through their social media channels and look up student leadership at schools closest to you or ones at the top of your wishlist.
Keep in mind Alice Walton School of Medicine will be recruiting its inaugural 2025 class pending accreditation approval. AWSOM is located in NW Arkansas.
