AUC Hosts "Med Camp"

On May 4, AUC hosted a “med camp” for prospective medical school students in Miramar, Florida at the Chamberlain School of Nursing, providing them the opportunity to meet members of the admissions team and alumni and to participate in hands-on workshops. The event was attended by 25 prospects and seven guests.

The three workshop streams included:

• Suture Workshop (35 mins)

• Complete Anatomy App Lab (35 mins)

• Simulation Case Demonstration (35 mins)

Additionally, the prospective students were able to meet with an admissions representative and interview for provisional acceptance into the MD program with a review of their academic transcripts, MCAT scores (if applicable), personal statement, and resume or CV. Onsite offers were made by a member of AUC’s admissions committee.

AUC provided prospective students the white glove treatment during the interview and acceptance process. Assistant Director of Grad Admissions Julio Sierra and Senior Coordinator of Admissions Sandra Toribio were in attendance, as well as Executive Director of MERP Dr. Gannady Raskin, who conducted the interviews.

The attending alumni were also an important aspect of the event's success; four top AUC grads, including a MERP graduate, discussed the program and their experiences at American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine.

The event was a big success - by the end of the day, four attendees had been recommended for acceptance to AUC, with eleven new applications in progress.
