Enroll in Keys to Success

 

In this weekly workshop, students strengthen the personal qualities they need to become successful medical students and superior physicians. They clarify your own learning style and gain practical skills to keep on track with time management, organization, and self-care practices. Students also prepare for high-pressure settings, exam accommodations, and business management.

Through research and discussions about bias, diversity, equity, and inclusion each student is better prepared to make more informed health care decisions. Students will also build their cultural competency and interpersonal communication skills, learn about self and patient advocacy, and explore how to finance a medical education.

This course, co-created by the UCSC Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology department, is taught via UCSC Silicon Valley Extension to support postbaccalaureate students in successfully launching their premed studies.
