Testimonials
I spoke with Kira Rynold before submitting my AMCAS application in May 2022. She helped me so much! I thought that my application was perfect and ready to be submitted but she really enlightened me on specific points that could have been better stated- I was so happy to have had the opportunity to meet with her and really think she made a difference in my AMCAS application!
I spoke with Dr. Yarden Goldman.I had been very stressed at that pointand I felt much calmer after our session. She recommended that I start making spreadsheets of the schools I would like to go to and their requirements and see as I go along if I meet their criteria. It was very good advice and overall I feel more organized now.

Pre-Med Society Whatsapp Chat
Pre-Med students are welcome to ask questions on our exclusive members-only chat where physicians and medical students help answer pre-med students’ questions. The chat serves as a community where Pre-Med students can feel supported in their journey to medical school. Pre-Med students are encouraged to participate in the chat to receive support from the members.
Specialty Spotlight Podcast Episodes
As part of JOWMA’s podcast series, one of our JOWMA Pre-Med Committee members interviews doctors of different specialties. Some of the topics discussed include medical training and a typical day in the life of that specialist. This is a great resource for pre-med students who would like to learn more about medical training and different medical specialties.

This program offers mentorship and support to Jewish women pursuing careers as physicians, helping students navigate each stage of their journey. In addition to a formal one-on-one mentorship pairing, there are also active WhatsApp chats where students have 24/7 access to post any questions or concerns and can have them answered in real-time by other students, residents, and attending physicians.
