TheNational Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NAAHP) conference was canceled due to COVID-19, but this scheduled panel moved to an online format in the form of this Podcast! Given the intense competition for admission to US medical schools pre-medical students with disabilities, whether they're learning, psychological, physical, sensory, or chronic health, face additional challenges including: 1) Determining whether or not they're going to disclose information about their disability and at what stage of the application process; 2) The need to identify schools that offer the best environment and resources to thrive as an individual with a disability; 3) Requesting accommodations for the various stages of the admissions process, including evaluations associated with admissions review like the Casper or the MMI or logistics for the interview day. This webinar addresses these questions and our panel offers a wealth of advice.   Guests Include: Gail Glicksman, PhD, Assistant Dean for Health Professions Advising at Bryn Mawr college Dr. Steven Gay, Dean for Admissions at theUniversity of Michigan Medical School Charlotte O'Connor, Learning and Disability specialist at the University of Michigan Medical School Jacob Lowy, Medical Student at the University of Michigan Medical School

Dr. Sarah Imam teaches advanced physiology and environmental physiology at the Citadel. She helps describe for us on the podcast what our human body has to endure in extreme environments, including microgravity environments like the astronauts work and live in.  Our future in space requires our full understanding of the space environment, and the effects it will have on us as humans. While Sarah’s perspective is optimistic, the space environment is not looking like a favorable one for our human bodies.   Here’s are some interesting questions Dr. Sarah and I ponder together:    When you go into these extreme environments (like space), there are so many detrimental effects on our human body, so understanding the impacts of microgravity is going to be more important as we humans continue explore space.  Or, are we just not intended to be space travelers? Sarah asks me what I’m likely to do when I fall into the icy cold water… and the answer is the complete opposite what I would have thought… Is it possible to mind over matter our bodies into health?    “When your body is aware that it will be exposed to a different environment, it helps you to be better prepared.”-Dr. Sarah Wallace from Casual Space Podcast    About Dr. Sarah: Sarah A.

All Access is deviating from our regular show style and med school guests and taking you "Back to School" with a Pre-Med Advisor from the University of Chicago, Joni Krapec. Joni has a unique career background as a former Director of Admissions at a top medical school.  Dr. Mehta, CaseMed Dean of Admissions, also joins me on this episode where Joni provides us helpful insight for pre-meds and how advisors can help them through this process.  Have a question for the show or just want to say 'hi'?  Send it to allaccess@case.edu Visit https://case.edu/medicine/allaccess for more information on this episode and others. Joni's Recommendations: Very much like Melissa Friedman's recommendation, Joni would recommend the "Find an Advisor" resource through the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NAAHP).  This site can help you identify the pre-health advisor on your campus (if you don't know who they are) or find a volunteer advisor if you do not have one at our school.  

All Access is taking you back to Boston to get you inside Harvard Medical School.  That's right - the Office of Admissions at Harvard Medical School with their Director of Admissions, Melissa Friedman.  We take you through some of the unique aspects of their curriculum and, most importantly, what their screening and interview process is like.  Melissa Friedman and I end the show answering listener questions about personal statements and interview day tips.
