Description:

Student will be expected to develop materials to support career development of WMed medical students. Student may select from several projects completed or under development, or propose projects of their own.
1) Outlines for revisions and extensions to the set of career development pages on the WMed Student Portal appropriate to all four years of the medical student curriculum.
2) Support and revision of a student-to-student guide providing advice from M4 students and graduates to M1, M2 and M3 students.
3) Revision and ongoing support of a general WMed-focused Match guide (permission provided to use UTSW Match guide as a format.)
4) Planning and creating a number of documents appropriate to each year of medical school, using the AAMC outline and our portal as a guide. These would be helpful "initial steps" to be sent out at specific times each year to M1 and M2 students to both guide them, and reassure them, of their progress. At their most specific, these could include a brief focus on a particular specialty, including an interview or video from a program director or faculty member in that specialty.
