Ce vendredi 12 janvier 2024, AZIMUT s'est rendu au Salon Postbac. Cet événement qui perdure depuis 15 ans devient un incontournable pour les lycéens dans leur recherche d'avenir. C'est l'occasion pour eux d'aller à la découverte d'universités, de prépas et d'une grande centaine d'écoles. Grâce à un pavillon spécial «Projette ton avenir pro», il leur était aussi possible de découvrir des BUT et des IUT d'Ile de France. Azimut a pu tendre le micro à certains élèves, parents ou professeurs, au cours de la matinée, pour les questionner sur leurs attentes pour ce salon. Par cet échange, nous découvrons que pour beaucoup ce salon est attendu, puisqu'il leur permet d'éclairer des interrogations particulières en s'adressant directement aux référents des formations présentes. Pour certains, cela leur permet de définir leurs choix d'orientations ou de peaufiner leurs voeux Parcoursup, qui arrivent prochainement. Nous avons pu constater que le salon est dans tous les cas une expérience enrichissante et éclairante pour le lycéen dans son processus d'orientation. Il permet aussi à l'élève de passer à une approche concrète de ses choix d'orientations. L'échange entre l'élèves et les multiples filières à sa disposition donne lieu en effet à de précieux conseils.

This student wants to know if he is going to need a postbac or not based on his current stats.
In this episode, the founder and former Director of San Francisco State University Postbac Programs and Accepted consultant since 2015 explains why the fastest way to medical school is slowly and carefully, and explores the advantages and disadvantages of applying to med school from a postbac program. [SHOW SUMMARY] Are you in a postbac program or specialized masters program? Are you wondering what are the nuances of applying to medical school from a postbac program? You're in luck, because that's the topic of today's episode - along with a healthy dose of excellent med school admissions advice for any med school applicant. An interview with Dr. Barry S. Rothman, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Biology, founder of SFSU Postbac Programs, and Accepted consultant for 8 years. [Show Notes] Welcome to the 526th episode of Admission Straight Talk. Are you ready to apply to your dream medical schools? Are you competitive at your target programs? Accepted's med school admissions quiz can give you a quick reality check. Complete the quiz and you'll not only get an assessment, but tips on how to improve your chances of acceptance. Plus it's all free. Our guest today, Dr. Barry Rothman, is the former health professions advisor and director of San Francisco State University's pre-health profession certificate program which serves pre-med, pre-dental, pre-nursing, and other pre-healthcare students who are preparing themselves to apply to graduate programs in healthcare. This episode focuses on medical school applications, but since 2015, Dr. Rothman has helped Accepted's clients in all aspects of the application process to medical school and specifically those both applying to postbac programs and applying from postbac programs. Dr. Rothman, welcome to Admission Straight Talk. [1:54] Great, Linda, good to be here and good to have been part of the Accepted family for now eight years. Glad to have you as part of the Accepted family. How did you get involved in postbac programs and helping applicants from postbac programs apply successfully to medical school? [2:04] Wow, what a story. At San Francisco State, I've had three careers. Started out very research oriented, leading a postdoctoral fellowship at UC San Francisco, and then transitioning to SF State as a new faculty member and conducting lab research in a lab at SF State. Which I was quite successful at, but it didn't really make me super happy, and I decided to stop doing research and start teaching. I had quite a lot of experience teaching already, and so that made me happier. And then around 20 years into my time at SF State, my dean approached me and said, "How'd you like to be the health professions advisor?" And I thought, sure, it'll be an easy thing, no big deal. And so I naively said yes, and it took over my life. I just loved doing it. I loved working with the students. I actually had been teaching a molecular medicine class, so I was interested in medicine anyhow, and I just took it from there. The students were wonderful to deal with. We created a program that required a lot of political maneuvering through the academic senate, and after a whole year of processing we had a postbac program, a newly formed from zero postbac program. What are the different kinds of postbac programs, and whom are they for? [3:50] Sure. Well, actually there's a bunch of different kinds. First of all, you can do a do-it-yourself postbac program, or you can enter a structured postbac program. So in do-it-yourself, you figure out the classes you take. You could take them at one or more universities as long as it's a four-year university, and you need some kind of advising. And Accepted can provide that kind of advising for a do-it-yourself postbac program. As you might guess, a DIY postbac program is less expensive than a structured program. Structured programs as you might guess offer structure, and so there's a bunch of people who are running the program,

Dans cet épisode nous répondons à la question : Comment passer des moteurs de motivation aux activités qui nous épanouissent? Trouver votre moteur principal ne suffit pas à déterminer votre orientation car il est très rare que vous n'actionniez qu'un seul moteur quand vous entreprenez une activité ou un métier. Associons maintenant votre premier moteur à votre deuxième moteur et observons vers quelles activités ils nous guident. L'association de vos deux moteurs principaux constitue ce qu'on appelle votre Talent. Ce Talent vous donne les raisons qui vous poussent à vous impliquer et s'exprime dans des activités qui devront se retrouver dans les différents métiers ou formations que vous envisagez. Une fois que vous aurez écouté la combinaison qui vous correspond, vous pouvez avancer une minute avant la fin de l'épisode.

Learn how to increase your chances of acceptance to medical school or another health professions school. [Show summary] Caleb Marsh, Admissions Director of Temple University's CST many postbac programs explores the robust opportunities available to students preparing for medical educations and careers. How can Temple University's postbac programs help you reach your career goals, and what does the Temple postbac admissions team look for in applicants? [Show notes] Are you considering a postbac program because your undergraduate grades are not exactly what you'd like them to be? Or perhaps because you lack required courses for the education you need to pursue a career in medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, podiatry, pharmacy, or a physician assistant science? Pull up a chair, our guest today is head of admissions for Temple University's many postbac programs. Welcome to the 435th episode of Admissions Straight Talk. Thanks for joining me. This podcast is brought to you by Accepted's free guide, The A-Z of Applying to Postbac Programs, which teaches you how to apply effectively to postbac programs. That includes choosing the programs, writing strong personal statements, securing effective letters of recommendation, and more. Grab your copy here. Our guest today is Caleb Marsh, Admissions Director at Temple University's CST postbac programs. Caleb started his higher ed journey at Baylor University where he earned his Bachelor's of Computer Information Systems and Human Performance, as well as a Master's in Educational Administration. He began working in pre-health advising at Baylor in 2002 and continued at UT Austin and SMU before becoming Admissions Director of Pre-Health Post-Baccalaureate Programs at Temple in 2018. How did you get so involved in pre-health advising with your background in computer science and human performance? [2:14] I wanted to actually be a coach when I was in college, and you had to pick a teaching discipline. So, I thought, "Well, I can teach computers. I enjoy computers." But my first job in college was as a student worker in a health professions advising office in which I was introduced to what life as a premed was like, which was very different from the life that I was leading as an undergraduate student. Through it and watching the journey, I just fell in love with working with health professions students and helping them go on and achieve their dreams and goals of going on to things like dental school, medical school and in a sense, being a coach along the way. So, I didn't deviate too far from the coaching aspect of things, just different sports, so to speak. Can you give an overview of the post-baccalaureate options at Temple University? [3:19] Sure. So first of all, I'll start with the two primary pathways students can take. One pathway is for students that are career changers. So, students that might have been teachers or lawyers or rabbis - all kinds of professions who decided they wanted to go back to school, pick up their prerequisite courses and go to professional school. We have another pathway that is for students that would like to enhance their academic credentials. These are typically people that were maybe premed as an undergrad, and this is kind of the typical postbac student that most people think of. They want to go to a postbac program to try to improve their science grades as an undergrad. That's kind of the basics, but as you mentioned, we have all these other different and more highly specialized programs within that framework. We help students of course go to medical school, dental programs. We have a pre-dental program, pre-pharmacy, and pre-podiatry tracks as well. Our three newest tracks are PT, PA, and DMI, which is Diagnostic Medical Imaging. It would be someone who had an undergraduate degree, but wants to go onto a DMI program and needs to just get some remaining pre-reqs and wants to take that pathway on to a DMI program.

Understanding postbac programs, and how they can help YOU apply to medical school successfully [Show summary] Accepted consultant Dr. Barry Rothman offers an overview of postbac programs to help prospective med school applicants discern if the postbac experience is the next best step for them, along with tips for postbac applicants. How postbac programs help applicants apply at their best [Show notes] Are you applying to medical school but concerned about your undergraduate record? Or, did the medical bug bite you when it was too late to take the med school prerequisites? Then you either are or should be considering a postbac program. Our guest today is Dr. Barry Rothman, Accepted consultant. Dr. Rothman has been on the show several times. The first time was way back in 2013, before he joined Accepted. At the time, he was serving at San Francisco State University as a professor of biology, director of postbac programs, director of the SFSU health professionals advising committee, director of the pre-health professions certificate program, and director of the SFSU/University of Pacific Dental postbac program. He has since left SFSU and is now a much-loved consultant at Accepted. How and when did you get involved in postbac programs? [2:11] Around 2005. I was a professor at San Francisco State, and my Dean approached me and said, "We need a new health professions advisor." I thought, “I like working with students and I'm interested in molecular medicine. This sounds good. I get three units of release time, and it should be easy.” Well, it was a lot more work, and I loved it. I really fell in love with the area and especially the students, working with them closely, helping them find their way into the health profession. At the time, there was an informal postbac program that all the CSU campuses had, but there were no services. You could just take classes with undergrads. What services did you feel were lacking? [3:03] Mostly advising, letter writing. There was no organization. It was just free-floating. The postbacs who came to SF State could take classes, but that was it. Nobody took care of them. A group of them approached me and said, "We would be willing to pay extra money if we could get some advising." I said, "Okay, let's put our heads together." We wrote up a proposal, and my dean got on board. I had to take it to our Academic Senate, which was a learning experience in itself, having to learn how to navigate the political waters at San Francisco State, which are pretty calm, not turbulent, but still, I had to learn how to present my program to the Academic Senate and convince them that this was a good thing to do. It turned out great. Amazingly, it was in black ink from the very beginning. I'm not directing the program anymore, but now the program’s into its 14th or 15th cohort. It's been quite successful. It was formulated on the idea of cooperation, although many health professions situations can have a competitive component to them. We really wanted to select people who wanted to be team players, and that has been very successful. A lot of folks don't want to be in a heavy competitive situation and want to be in a situation where people pull together and support each other. Let's dive into the different kinds of postbac programs that exist, focusing on MD and DO postbac programs. Can you give us an overview? [4:34] The two main divisions are career changer and academic enhancer. A career changer is somebody who hasn't taken any, or perhaps one or two, of the prerequisites for medical school. They are, in essence, changing their career from whatever they were doing before to a medical track. An academic enhancer is somebody who has completed most or all of the medical school pre-reqs, and probably some electives, but hasn't done as well as they wanted to do to be. They need to enhance their academic record by taking additional, usually upper-division biology electives.

Session 48 Postbac, Masters, and SMP programs have pretty significant differences, from the degree conferred to financial aid eligibility, etc. Pick wisely! If you haven’t yet, please check out all our other podcasts on Meded Media as you’re trying to get as many resources as you can to help you along this premed journey. Did you struggle in your undergrad classes? Or did you major in something completely random and you never took any science courses and now you need them? How do you determine what's the best path forward versus a "postbac" program or a Masters Program in Biomedical Sciences? (There's also that which is called Special Masters Program or SMP.) So, what's the difference? [01:15] What's the Difference Between Postbac and Master's Programs Q: Which one will prove to the admissions committees that I can handle the coursework? Is a postbac program good enough? Or does it have to be this Masters Program in hard sciences like Biomedical Sciences or Masters in Microbiology? (Masters in Public Health is not considered a hard science.) A: The difference is that one is a Master's degree and one isn't. Postbac programs historically are programs affiliated either separately form an institution. There are a lot of private postbac programs out there now while there are some programs that are part of the university. There's also a postbac program for nontraditional students looking to improve their grades or are switching from another career so they need to take all the sciences. At the core of a postbac program or a masters program, they both do the same thing. They're both there to help improve or add to your science GPA. Medical school is hard. There are a lot of sciences. If you can't get a good science GPA then you haven't proven to yourself or the admissions committee that you can handle the coursework. The last they want to do is accept a student who is not going to finish school. [03:35] Which One to Choose: Federal vs. Private Loans Master's program is a degree program which you can get federal financial aid for. Postbac programs are not degree-programs, which means you don't get a degree at the end. Some postbac programs give you a certificate but the certificate these days might not qualify itself for financial aid. This being said, you have to just do your research and follow up with them. Private loans are to be avoided at all cost. They're not very flexible. For instance, they don't care if you have problems in the future. When you get federal loans as you go through medical school and residency training, they are very flexible with how you pay back the loans. You have a lot more leeway if any issues come up. As you're looking at these different options, think about federal versus private loans. [05:10] Formal Postbac versus Do-It -Yourself Postbac Think about whether you need to do a formal postbac versus a do-it-yourself postbac. You don't have to do a formal postbac. Formal postbac programs are super expensive. One of the tricks for a do-it-yourself postbac is to tell them you want a second degree. Go and apply as a degree-seeking student and just don't finish the degree. [06:00] Master's Program versus Postbac Programs A Master's program is going to give you a Master's degree. A lot of people will choose this being the safer bet. You have a Master's degree now. Just in case medicine doesn't work out, now you have a master's degree to lean back on. A lot of these master's programs are postbac programs that are just wrapped in a pretty exterior of a master's program. This means they're there to improve your sciences, prepare you for the MCAT, and get you ready for medical school. This is what an SMP does as well. One of the biggest differences is that on your application, a postbac program includes undergrad level courses that help you increase your undergrad GPA. If you have a poor undergrad GPA and you take Master's courses, your undergrad GPA is going to look terrible. Hopefully, you have a good Master's GPA to improve on that. If you're struggling with your undergrad GPA, it may behoove you to do more of a regular postbac. Your postbac courses are going to be included in your undergrad GPA. This may boost you up over that 3.0 threshold. [08:50] Crush It! Ultimately, no matter which one you pick, the goal for any of these is to crush them the best you can. Do not go into this process with a poor GPA from undergrad and continue the same mistakes that you make. Otherwise, it's going to prove you can't handle the coursework. This is the last thing you want to do. Links: Meded Media
