New AAMC Resource - Anatomy of An Applicant The Association of American Medical Colleges is pleased to announce the launch of the Anatomy of an Applicant website (www.aamc.org/competencies), which features six student profiles, a workbook, and supplemental resources. This website was created in direct response to inquiries from applicants, pre-health advisors, and admissions officers who asked the AAMC for help in better understanding how to demonstrate aptitude in the core competencies, which many medical schools have identified as important for entering medical students. Site materials are based on the 15 Core Competencies for Entering Medical Students that have been endorsed by the AAMC Group on Student Affairs (GSA) Committee on Admissions (COA). Along with student profiles, we have included a workbook with sections that clarify the individual core competencies, describe the individual components of the medical school application, demonstrate how an applicant’s responses inform admissions officers about an applicant’s proficiency level in different competencies, and help generate ideas about how to show experience and develop proficiency in the various competencies.

5 Things I Wish I knew as a Premed about How to Pay for Medical School Medical school is expensive. In fact, according to AAMC Medical Student Education: Debt, Costs and Loan Repayment Fact Card 2016, a majority of students, nationally, leave medical school with at least $100,000 in debt; nearly half leave with $200,000 or more. As a premed student, Kevin Keith, now a third-year medical student at the Medical University of South Carolina, remembers being overwhelmed by the cost of medical school. Now well into his medical education, he has come to realize that paying for medical school is manageable. To help you identify loans, budget wisely, and even find scholarships and grants, Kevin shares his five tips he wishes he would've known as a premed.

Globally, over 21 million women, men and children are victims of human trafficking. The United States is both a source and transit country for trafficking. Here in Hawai‘i, the Pacific Survivor Center (PSC) is committed to advancing health and human rights through direct services, education, research and advocacy. For the past decade, PSC and its partners have provided medical and other professional services to victims of sex trafficking. This expertise has led PSC to develop a unique Hawai‘i resource, the Sex Trafficking Outreach and Prevention Program (STOPP). The program combines an original, Hawai‘i-produced animated film, Tricked: It Looked Like Love, with an educational curriculum that integrates national and international best practices. How do we achieve the most economic, efficient and effective result in working with survivors of human rights abuses? There will be a screening of Tricked followed by a discussion with PSC staff about the vital role healthcare workers play in combatting sex trafficking and ensuring that victims become survivors. To join us for the screening and moving discussion, please register here.

Because our patient's health and safety is of utmost importance, our volunteers go through a screening and orientation process similar to that of our hospital staff.
