Join this year's first year medical students as they share their journey. This presentation is part of their Community Learning course. In this presentation, we'll offer a brief overview of the path leading to medical school, including gap years and the application process. We'll then delve into the structure of Emory School of Medicine's curriculum, discussing clinical exposure, technology-driven learning, and the daily life of medical students. Finally, we'll cover the application process for medical residencies and post-medical school life. Our aim is to provide insights into the 2023 medical student experience, valuable to both newcomers and healthcare professionals keen on the evolving landscape of medical education. Free to Members.
