Don't wear sunglasses during your interviews PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 07 January 2010 18:14

Not all interviews are conducted inside an office.  If you are one of those few people who get to interview outside and its particularly sunny outside, be sure to take your sunglasses off before starting the interview.  How will an interviewer gauge your eye contact if they are hidden behind sunglasses.  If its too sunny, you can always ask your interview if you can move to a shadier place so you don't need to use your sunglasses.

 

Eye contact is critical in an interview.  You don't want to have the eyes hidden by sunglasses or constantly look squinty as the sun shines in your face.

 
Undergrads getting involved in medical school PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 01 January 2010 05:25

Like undergraduate, medical school also has its own clubs/associations/interest groups.  These medical school associated clubs may provide a source for clinical/research/community service activities for your medical school application.   Ask if they have any opportunities for undergraduates.  Maybe they are looking for an undergraduate liaison to help them reach out to undergraduates.  Or they need help with putting a large event together and require undergraduates to help since medical students are often more busy studying for their exams.

 

There are many minority medical student associations (Latino Medical Student Association, Student National Medical Association) that do outreach to get more minority high school and undergraduate students to enter the medical profession.  They may have health fairs and outreach events that undergraduates are often welcomed to help organize and run.

 

If your undergraduate institution has a medical school associated with it, go and seek out this unique source of activities and experiences.  Be proactive.
