Start NowWhen a student makes the decision to pursue a medical education, they are choosing how they want to define their career, lifestyle, values, and future impact on the world. This decision is made by thousands of students every year, though, sadly, many will fall short of becoming a physician. The path to successful matriculation into medical school is extremely rigorous and littered with many avoidable pitfalls. This course is designed specifically to address this difficult period that every prospective applicant must navigate.
The MCAT is the bar by which all applicants are measured, so realizing your full potential on this exam is of utmost importance. This course will help you develop a study schedule, interpret your self-assessment scores to track your progress, and achieve peak test-taking performance.
Fortunately, the success of an applicant is not based solely on their MCAT score or GPA. In fact, many students find on interview day that their extracurricular experiences are what ultimately lead to their acceptance. With that in mind, this course also aims to help students find ways to cultivate a more well-rounded application.
Finally, this course is designed to help demystify the important timeline milestones that all successful applicants must complete. When do you take your MCAT? How long should you plan to study? When should you submit your application? These questions are highly relevant in determining which students receive that coveted acceptance letter. Our course will help you navigate the process in such a way that you feel confident about your trajectory toward success.Dr. Kevin Ahern is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Oregon State University (OSU), USA.

I'm so happy for listening to those lacture . It's so benefit
I don't want to late in your courses the medical student I like it so much to be help in a people how can careyers
It looks like its a really good platform im exited haha
Very useful for me, a student medical , thanks for Kevin Ahern
This lecture is very good and recommended to all pre-med students!
The depth and meaning of terms like 'diversity' and 'professionalism' are very clearly and nicely explained. There was no part of the lecture which is worth disliking. I'd definitely want to recommend this lecture not only to the people who are aspiring to get into a Med school, but to any person who is pursuing any professional degree at the moment
me gusto por que te centra en la realidad de quien eres a donde vas y el motivo por que vas a cierta direccion
Me parece genial lo que dice en todo momento una conferencia sin duda muy simple y directa
These lectures are excellent, simply put and provide effective keys towards getting message across to sell self through the power of creative communication. Enhanced ability to connect to audience panel /interviewer is much the same as a captivating or standout written cover letter of application live in action. It can actually apply to all fields of learning. The key is willingness to establish meaningful relationships that is worthy of consideration and attention. Like what a former mentor/superior explained to me before why I got offered a position ahead of the others despite being not among the cream of the crop in terms of grade point average: "its not about the grade anymore, its if we want to work with you."
this is a friendly and very clarifying review that helps me to believe, that easiness is the criteria of the highest level of knowing, like Mr. Ahern shows it in these videos
I chose this rate because it helped me a lot for starting at my medical school. I like the way of explaining typical mistakes that most of people consider right. I'll recommend this video to friends who are going to start the medical school with me and also others who are not, because I think this course is for people who want to start with the correct ideas.
dynamic, knowledgeable, to the point presentation, great light for students to understand the mechanics of acceptance in medical school.
Muy buena explicación, me encantó, por qué lo hizo de manera precisa y eso fue bueno
It's first time that I am using lecturio and it's cleanly helped me.. As I'm joining my medical school.. This lectures guides me a lot! I'll surely recommend to my medico buddies to rate lecturio.. Thanks for creating a big support for medico's..
Very helpful. I'm taking preresquisite but 've never think about this. Thank you
I like it so much! It's pretty cool, I will recommend my friends.
Good. Realmente inspirador, y dice la verdad, un buen libro de anatomía para irse familiarizando.
Thank you for caring in this way Quickly and understanding points for me
Very nice helping information, I need to know is it possible to do graduation in Anatomy.
Realmente, para mi percepción considero que se basa en muy buenos argumentos; en el aspecto de tener base firme sobre el estudio de la medicina!...no todos los estudiantes de medicina concebimos la responsabilidad que recae sobre nuestras manos! es por ello que el plantearse la pregunta del Quien soy?, conlleva a pensar en si verdaderamente estoy preparado y cuento con las actitudes y aptitudes para estudiar una carrera medica. / Really, for my perception I consider that it is based on very good arguments; in the aspect of having a firm base on the study of medicine! ... not all medical students conceive the responsibility that falls on our hands! that is why asking the question of who I am ?, leads me to think about whether I am truly prepared and have the attitudes and aptitudes to study a medical career. PSD. Considero 4 estrellas debido a la traducción del idioma español... tiene algunos errores de gramatica, y por tanto el mensaje no es muy claro para algunas perosonas. / I consider 4 stars due to the translation of the Spanish language ... it has some grammatical errors, and therefore the message is not very clear for some people.
Excellent advice to ponder on. I found this lecture helpful. Hearing the perspective of a medical professional, provides a clearer picture of what will be expected and how to prepare in advance for medical school. Thank you!
As a first year medical student, this video was really helpful.
Son muy buenos consejos y conforme avanzas en la carrera de medicina te das cuenta de toda la razón que tienes
excellent, thanks teacher for clarify that, is uncanny and awesome
i like the simplicity and the relevance of this course. its an amazing course
This video has a good information towards studying Medicine. I like it.
Good support information, a key to learning and social life. Also good advice on what to and not to study as am someone who likes to know as much as possible before starting a course.
Me encantaron sus videos, es genial, me gustaría conocerlo. en persona.
It's actually a good option for pre-medical students, even if you don't really know about it, you could "learn how to learn"
Great lecture, bad Spanish autotranslation. I'd recommend it to all my friends currently trying to get to medical school but who speak English.
It's such a great video, basically is what everyone has to ask to itself, just to make sure you are doing whatever you do because you want to, not because you are told to. And shows the importance to be honest with the applications to get into med school.
AL CRECER, LLEGA UN PUNTO EN TU VIDA EN EL QUE SOLO TE PREGUNTAS A DONDE QUIERES LLEGAR O QUE QUIERES SER... PERO MUY POCAS VECES TE DETIENES A PENSAR EN ¿QUIÉN ERES TÚ? Y ESO ES LO QUE REALMENTE TE DEFINE COMO PERSONA... LO QUE REALMENTE TE LLEVARA A TUS METAS.
yes, yes, yes. beri well. yes, yes, yes. beri well
Excellent overview of the importance of premedical prep for med school. Definitely went over some important topics that I didn't assume were as important!
Very good explication, i was thinking to study a lot before starting and this help me a lot to now wath to do
It was a unique lecture for me. I learned different information about the medical school interviews. I also get what they test during the interviews. It was interesting. I recommend this lecture to every pre-med student.
nadie me habia dicho eso que veo que es muy importante
I like this video due to the importance of a Medical student to reflect to these type of questions and to know that being a Medical student isn't all about being smart , but rather being more diseplent to work harf .
Fantástico, realmente te ayuda a tomar en cuenta muchas cosas que ni siquiera habías considerado,muchas gracias.
All the information that Mo offered was very practical , easy to understand and follow.
I would recommend this video not only to my friends but to anyone who's trying to make their way into med school and that's because it has an amazing way of inspiring students to not only become the best version of themselves but to really focus on what's important, not just the grades but mastering the knowledge and abilities that would get them closer to being the great physicians they dream of being.
you need to show your unique characters, and behave as an adult. Be able to convince the interviewers that you know what you need and how you can achieve it. finally, you need more than one recommendation and from doctors.
I choose this rated becase he is talking about a important thing before if you are a doctor or a nurse, YOU ARE A HUMAN and you need to know... Who are me?
This was really helpful, I am a pre-medical student from Colombia and this was really clear and easy to understand! Thanks a lot!
The tips were really helpful and I am really taking this lecture seriously becuase Housing, Transportation are essential and also the foundation of comfort and convenience when learning in medical school. Thanks a lot!
This is the first time that I have access to something like this, a world class medical course. I'am a engeneering student in Mexico who has to learn a range of medical concepts, but there are only a couple of physicians in my school, so I always feel a lack of mentors to learn. I think the vast majority of my classmates could benefit with the lectures in here, and everyone will love it, that´s for sure.
ITS GREAT HELPFUL FOR ALL STUDENTS, SO NICE , SO KIND OF YOU, GOD BLESS YOU,JAY SHREE RAM
I this course gave me a clear perspective of what the application prosses is going to be like, and the important elements that I will be needing to focus on.
I'm a non-traditional applicant (over 40). What kind of advice would you give me for the interview? I'm coming from a background of health insurance, social work and education.
He is awesome, Today I´m a medical student however this question help me to find out "who am I".
Demasiado excelente, buena conferencia me llego, me saco mi otro lado que tenia guardado no solo se trata de enfocar lo academico si no tambien lo personas
this is an essential introduction that shouldn't be skipped for aspiring med students.
Excellent lessons, lots of experience totally necessary for the first step on medicine school!
Explained the accurate points in an appropriate way. Delivered the message in a easy manner with a clear and proper voice tone. I love it. And it is very useful. I would recommend this to any students who are willing to do medicine. Thank you sir :)
Informative, Simple and to the point. Great lecture and very helpful.Thank you.
very good explanation about everything...it is going to help me a lot
its very helpful, all the points are very practical and good for future use.
He reminded me that medical school doesn't just consist of grades, but also other essential components as a person.
Nice! I wish I had discovered it wile doing Pre-med in Boston it would have helped me A LOT.
Dr. Kevin said the things that, to be honest, everyone repeats back and forth in their videos. But the way they explained them all is what I thing will change everyone's, it at least changed mine, way of approaching the personal essay portion in the college application process. Thank you, Sir!
I am preparing for my third year of undergrad. This video just taught me a lot
That is great important steps for application for med school
Very helpful, i wish i had this knowledge when i started medschool. Thank you very much
The simplest yet very penetrating thoughts you've just shared with aspiring med students and to the world as a whole. It's so funny that I've encountered the question again, "Who are you?" for decades now, which I've been using way back in college years during my major in Psychology. Every time I want to know someone's name I always asked, who are you, instead of what's your name. I did that intentionally so I can get a direct yet profound answer from that person. I'm just fun of knowing someone through his or her reactions on the first encounter with me. Maybe it's part of my philosophical beings. :)
I've just started my IB programme and this is really helpful for me to set my long-term goals. Wish me luck on my way to becoming a neurosurgeon!
VERY USEFUL GRIPS INTO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. COULD THIS TIPS BE ALSO APPLIED IN THE UK?
This is very helpful. I didn't know where to start to begin my transition until I watched this video. Thank you!
really helpful for me tho am kinda new in USA and am working towards being a doctor
everyone needs to know him self and who is he!! it's very important question, and only the answer can help everybody to find his realy destination in life .
it is very helpful to know how manage our life style
Very professional speaker which has given me the means and understanding to enter the medical field. Thank you.
he creates a learners friendly environment.uses simple English to explain hence easily understood
First video was more useful than second. And i agree with other members on site. Lecturio should work more like khan academy.
I learned about lecturio through Dr. Mo and it has been a great year with lecturio! Thank you Dr. Mo! What a pleasure to see you here!
I am a student in New Zealand and I am currently in my last year. I definitely want to study the rest of my career in medical school. This is a great website for people who have a keen interest in going to medical school and it is very helpful too. The only problem that I see in it is the fact that it requires payments. This is mainly because we already have too many payments in university. Maybe it would be much better if the payments are reduced. But anyway it is very helpful and really does make an effect on if we actually have an interest in going to medical school. Thank you for the effort.
A wise man once asked me, "who are you?". After my initial confusion on how to respond to his question, I came to the painful, yet enlightening, realization that I truly had no idea.
I chose the rating of a five star because the videos that Dr. Ahern talked about all had helpful hints in each of them of how to study for the MCAT, what classes to take while in undergrad school to be ready for the MCAT and to get into medical school, how to fill out the applications to get into medical school and what to do and or say during the interview part of the application before getting accepted into medical school. I liked how supporting the videos were and how Dr. Ahern was being honest of what to do to get accepted into medical school. I would recommend these videos to any person who's studying and trying to get into medical school.
Because this is deep question. Not every human can answer.
Amazing by the way can you guys make this website free i mean people are trying to be the next or future health professionals of the world so please open more videos up.
Very thought provoking and inspiring, makes you think differently about the medical school process
I am student of med. uni. and tnx for your site good luck
I love the was this lecture is presented it is very clear and concise.
In less than thirty minutes, Dr. Ahern eloquently and concisely answers the questions about medical school that I have been asking different individuals for years. Never have I found such honest, helpful and informative information regarding the aspects of entering medical school that are often an afterthought (shadowing, references, personal statements, interviewing skills, etc.). Thank you for this lecture.
Amazing lectures. Simply, thank you; it has made me rethink and elaborate.
coz he tells something that i want to know about who i really am
This helps with interview questions which is advice that's quite hard to find. This helps you with some questions you should ask in order to better understand yourself.
