At Drexel University, we believe in the continual professional and personal development of our medical students. Do you have a self-development plan?

"I agree that self-development is crucial for continual growth and achievement for any medical student. I am committed to investing in myself, and I do this by attending personal development workshops and meeting with my mentor monthly."

"Self-development requires a commitment to growth inside and outside the classroom. While committing myself to medical school, I look forward to attending conferences such as AMSA. I also plan to become actively involved in evidence-based medical research as soon as possible to begin learning and growing for my future in residency training."

If Drexel University is going to invest a great deal of time and resources into you as a medical student, they need to know that you have a plan in place for investing in yourself. Think about how you will work to improve yourself professionally and personally. If you get stuck, consider discussing attending conferences and workshops, spending time volunteering in a capacity related to your career goals, learning a new language, and reading books associated with success.
