- while all coursework is important and consistently strong course performance is expected

overall, BCPM courses are considered highly predictive of success in professional medical

programs


Community Service - Answer✔✔-- medical providers are not just experts in the diagnostic arts

of their discipline


- they are people the community looks for help on troubling and confusing topics


- to that end, community service is important


- you are expected to achieve a strong record of community service before you apply to your

program


- these hours do not have to be related to your field of interest and can be a great way yo show

your personal interests to the admission committees


- the key with this is consistency in your service


Leadership/Teamwork - Answer✔✔-- healthcare providers are expected to demonstrate

dualities associated with leadership and being a good team player


- demonstrating these characteristics in a formal manner is critical to showcasing your potential

all examples that fulfill this factor

shadowing a provider - Answer✔✔-- to be a provider in a selected medical career, you should

have a thorough of what that provider does in their day-to-day work


- to achieve such a level of understanding, you should follow a practicing provider of your

chosen field - a process called shadowing


- it is important that you must shadow a practitioner of the profession you are applying (ex: pre-

medical students should be shadowing an MD or DO)


- it is suggested to shadow 3 different practitioners in your chosen profession for ~50 hours each


clinical experience - Answer✔✔-- there is no substitute for the experience of providing care to

actual patients


- clinical experience helps you appreciate the psychosocial aspects of being in a medical career


- depending on the profession you are interested in, your clinical experience will most likely be

different than students applying to a different profession since each profession has its own

unique requirements


- with that in mind, it is suggested that pre-medical students should aim to volunteer both in the

hospital setting and at a free clinic


- if you need to work during your undergraduate years, scribing is a great way to gain clinical

experience while getting paid


- pre-dental students can work in a dentist's office, pre-pharmacy students can work as a

pharmacy tech, etc.

- positions like phlebotomist, medical assistant, and EMT fall into this category of clinical

experience as well


research - Answer✔✔-- research is the process of generating new knowledge for a given field

through formal, strategic inquiry


- research is not required by all of the careers discussed in this career but it is expected of

students who hope to gain admission to an allopathic (MD) medical school


- research is not washing the dishes in a wet lab


- the golden standard for research is having a publication


- aim to have a poster presentation (or full journal article!) to prove admissions committees that

you were actively involved in the research process


mythical majors - Answer✔✔-descriptors such as pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-optometry, pre-

veterinary, pre-ANYTHING are not majors at this university




UCF does not award degrees in any of the above




the aspiring pre-professional student is expected to declare a major within one of the degree

granting departments of this university




therefore, terms such as pre-medical or pre-veterinary are simply descriptive labels
