The Many Faces of Dentistry Webinar

There is still time to register for tomorrow’s FREE webinar, The Many Faces of Dentistry.  Three distinguished panelists will discuss what surprises people the most about their jobs and the experiences that helped shape their decision to opt for an exciting, diverse and rewarding career path outside the dental office.

MCAT Available Appointment Notification Tool

The AAMC is pleased to announce the MCAT Available Appointment Notification tool. This latest feature of the MCAT Registration System allows students to request an email notification should a seat become available for a particular MCAT exam date and location.

Students will be notified on a first-come, first-notified basis and will have a limited window of time to take action. When you receive a notification email, this does not mean a seat is guaranteed, as other examinees may have also been notified of the appointment's availability. Each examinee will need to log into the system to confirm the available seat. All scheduling and rescheduling fees still apply.
