Medical Education & Training

Albert Einstein College of Medicine: Getting Prepped for Success
When Schnaude Dorizan was a senior at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, she thought her good grades and double major in biology and psychology would ensure her admission to a neuroscience graduate school program-until all eight schools she applied to rejected her. A professor said her lack of lab research experience was the likely culprit, and suggested she look into the Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program, commonly known as PREP, offered at certain universities and medical schools and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Learn more.
Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons: Learning From What Goes Wrong
Though simulation has been shown to help students retain information and hone skills while improving patient outcomes by decreasing costly medical errors, VP&S did not have a dedicated space to run simulated scenarios until the VEC opened in August 2016. Before then, medical students traveled to offsite facilities or did “in situ” training in makeshift spaces and unoccupied patient rooms at NYP.  Learn more.
Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine: The DO Magazine, Failed COMLEX or USMLE? What it Means for Matching Into Residency
Failing a board exam in medical school is often a devastating experience. When John Ukadike, OMS IV, found out he failed his first COMLEX exam, feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy crept in. “I cried immediately and felt an overwhelming feeling of despair,” says Ukadike, who attends the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Learn more.
New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine:  Heal Thyself: Helping Students Fight Stress and Burnout

Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine: Cultural Competency, Healing Diverse Patient Populations
