Ensuring Fairness in Medical Education Assessment
This study takes a first step in centering the margins as we as medical educators grow our understanding of the dynamics of promoting fairness in assessment. Future studies should explore feedback with intentional inclusion and involvement of diverse students, teachers, and researchers at every stage of the research process from conceptualization through dissemination and application of the new learning. We thank our participants for their time and candor discussing this sensitive topic and the Group on Educational Affairs for funding our work. Thank you for your time and attention and the focus that you’ll put on th...

New Collection of Articles on Language Equity in Medical Education
To recognize and demonstrate that all persons are valued and respected, academic medicine ideally will reflect the communication needs and language preferences of the population. We have curated a collection of articles with the intent of helping readers understand historical perspectives on the need to address language-related health disparities and informing strategies to enhance language-appropriate health care training and assessment at their institutions.
Each of us, Dr. Pilar Ortega and Dr. Débora Silva, brings a different perspective on language equity informed by our personal and professional experiences. I (P....

Still Here: My Experience with Repeating a Year of Medical School
On a hot and humid July afternoon, the white coat ceremony for the class of 2025 at the Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine was in full swing. Not even the threat of a giant thunderstorm, which happens often during the summer in Miami, could dampen the excitement of 150 aspiring physicians and their families. I walked onstage, slipped on brand-new white coat, and accepted the coveted “medical student” title I had spent years working for. I thought about why I was embarking on this journey: my family of Vietnam War refugees, my brother who has autism, and my father who suddenly passed a...

Greatness Originates in Small Acts of Kindness
People perceive greatness as something that comes from grand gestures or remarkable achievements. However, the field of medicine has shown us time and time again that the origin of true greatness lies in small acts of kindness. Seemingly minor acts of generosity and compassion have the power to not only improve the lives of our patients, but to inspire future generations to follow in our footsteps. Even as a premed, I strive to embody these values so that when I become a physician, I can inspire future generations of providers to do the same.
This realization dawned upon me during my senior year of college when I shadow...

Doubt, Deferral, and Destiny
Five years ago, if you told me that I would be an entering MD/PhD student, I’d be elated, but if you had told me two years ago — I’d laugh and call you a liar. It’s strange that along my journey to medical school and physician-scientist training, there was such a low point, but one that many medical students can relate to: impostor syndrome during the application cycle.
I had been working toward this point throughout college, and before I started writing my applications, I felt reasonably confident in my goal to become a physician-scientist studying cancer biology. Yet the writing process brought my doubts, ...

Translating Pre-Medical Experiences into Clinical Skills
As a pre-medical student in college, it can be overwhelming deciding how to allocate your time outside of classes. A good first step is to try a variety of activities and to intently pursue those that fulfill you the most. While you should take into account admission requirements and experiences to maximize your competitiveness (i.e. clinical experiences, research, and volunteer service), the driving force for how you spend your free time should be where your passions lie. Ultimately, pursuing your passions will inherently make you a stronger (and more unique) applicant.
Now that I have finished my core requirements as ...
