AMSA Journal The New Physician
Recommended as Suggested Reading by the AAMC in the AAMC Careers in Medicine Student Guide
Recommended by AMWA in AMWA's Guide to Medical School
"In a little over 400 pages one can feel more confidently ready to present their opinion on current issues in healthcare and medical ethics and the hot topics that admissions committees favor. There are plentiful examples and a wide range of scenarios and responses, along with excellent references that could be looked into for more details. I cannot recommend this book more highly!"
Amazon review
