The Physician's Guide: How to Succeed as a Pre-Med and Get into Medical School

by Nicholas J Nissen

Overview

Combining the experience of an Ivy-League-trained physician with the insight of a former Assistant Dean of Medical School Admissions, The Physician's Guide is the modern guide to pre-med success. From high school to college to gap years, The Physician's Guide will detail proven strategies to succeed and thrive as a pre-medical student. This book discusses the critical topics, like MCAT prep, personal statement writing, and performing well in admissions interviews. However, it also covers less discussed, but equally important topics, such as extracurricular activities, finding mentors, studying abroad, research, and so much more. This book not only shows you how to be eligible for medical school; it teaches you how to stand out to admissions committees by following your passions and enjoying your pre-medical years.
