Professionalism Matters to Medical Schools
Medical schools want applicants who understand what it looks like to act professionally with patients, classmates, and colleagues—and who are ready to keep building those skills. The AAMC PREview® professional readiness exam helps show how you approach real-world situations that call for professional judgment. Paired with your academic preparation, these skills will support your success in medical school and in your future career.
