Incorporating Core Competencies into your medical school application

Learn about the AAMC Core Competencies for Entering Medical Students and start gathering these qualities now. They can be acquired through academics, service, work and research opportunities.

Some competencies will be acquired through coursework (quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, written communication), while others through your research or clinical work (scientific inquiry, teamwork, dependability, ethical responsibility) and still others through perhaps your extracurricular, study abroad or service (cultural competence, adaptability, reliability, service).

How you incorporate these qualities into your premed path is unique to you and should be embraced. Be you and the rest will follow.
