Demonstrating Competence in an Unconventional Application Year - Webinar

UPDATE:

• The Demonstrating Competence in an Unconventional Application Year webinar is now available on our website. This webinar helps applicants understand the 15 core competencies for entering medical school, learn about creative ways to articulate competence using current courses and experiences, and consider how to use the AAMC Anatomy of an Applicant Self-Assessment Guide to support their medical school application.
   
• We will continue to provide updates to applicants on our website, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and AMCAS page, and Twitter feed (@AMCASinfo). Applicants can also reference current transcript processing statuses and the transcript processing tool on our website. 

In 2013, in consultation with U.S. medical schools, the AAMC identified 15 core competencies for entering medical students that represent the knowledge, skills, and abilities successful applicants should be able to demonstrate. They represent three main areas: pre-professional skills, thinking and reasoning abilities, and knowledge of science. During this webinar you’ll learn more about the core competencies, understand how medical schools assess applicant competencies, and see how one experience can illustrate proficiency across multiple competencies. 

Admissions officers are aware of the disruption many of you have faced while preparing to apply to medical school and are planning how to carefully assess applicant competency during this unconventional application cycle. The webinar speakers will share some approaches you might be able to use to demonstrate your competencies in your applications.

After participating in this webinar, participants will:

• Understand the 15 core competencies for entering medical students 
• Learn about creative ways to articulate competence using your current courses and experiences 
• Consider how to use the AAMC Anatomy of an Applicant Self-Assessment Guide to support your medical school application

Johns Hopkins Indigenous Populations Healthcare Volunteering

Indigenous Students at Johns Hopkins University is looking for students and organizations to volunteer to assist in collaboration between the Center for American Indian Health, Indian Country Today, and several other institutions across the nation on a much needed COVID-19 resource for American Indian and Alaska Native communities.

The Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 case tracking serving as a go-to-reference for so many around the world do no currently display cases occurring specifically in Indian Country. Many American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities are being hit hard by COVID-19, but those numbers are often lost, unrecorded, and unincluded when recording case incidence. This leads to a critical loss of visibility. We are working with the Johns Hopkins team managing the case tracking to highlight AIAN cases and tribal land and have partnered with Indian Country Today to begin their own grass-roots efforts to source and supply this data. They have such great relationships with tribal communities, are highly visible, and started the data collection at the ground level.

They cannot do this alone, and are looking to recruit volunteers to help track cases of COVID-19 on tribal lands. If interested, fill out this application form: [http://jhsph.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8koIRdXBJfCaRJX]. Volunteers will be trained on how to track cases and report them and will be an integral part of the collaboration.

Anyone with questions regarding the project, commitment, hours, etc. can contact Joel Espinoza directly at jespino8@jhu.edu.
