We're offering free MCAT workshop over the next week with some of the highest scoring MCAT test takers in the country, where we will be providing valuable MCAT advice and MCAT strategies; while also answering questions and giving feedback. We're each scored above the 99th percentile and have consistently helped our students earn MCAT scores that average above the 88th percentile. All students will also receive a 100+ page strategy guide. I've included the link to the event sign ups below. Space is limited our free workshops generally fill up quickly.
MCAT Science and Verbal Strategy (3.5 hours) Thursday Oct 2nd-
https://www.facebook.com/events/1489138664689148/
We are able to achieve better MCAT results through a combination of our innovative interactive classroom sessions which focus on student discussion and our top MCAT instructors, while also providing the best MCAT test prep value in Boulder. We've been able to make MCAT prep affordable for any budget, making structured MCAT prep available for all students. Our courses have also benefited students preparing for the OAT, PCAT and DAT.
We understand that some students are on the fence regarding whether to take the current MCAT or wait for the 2015 MCAT. We'll be discussing some of the changes being made to the new exam, and how students can best prepare for the skills being tested. Also those students that sign up for our Fall MCAT program can attend our Winter 2015 class as well, so that they have the option to prepare for either exam.

Pre-MED
• SALUD HEALTH INTERNSHIP
• Each intern will begin with the Patient Experience Survey and the Patient Portal project. Both will involve working with patients as they wait for their appointments. You will be asked to do at least one 4-hour shift, either 8am-12:30pm or 12:30pm-5pm, M-F per week. Moderate competency in Spanish is desired, although it may be possible to team up with another student who has greater Spanish skills.
• The idea is to create a team of students who will be invested in helping Salud health clinics improve patient care in a variety of ways. It is a wonderful chance to see close-up how complex and rewarding care to under-served populations can be. The next projects will include working in the Comprehensive Care program, on the Mobile Unit, and participating in group medical visits, all with an evaluation component. There will also be opportunities to do data analysis on the various projects.
• If you are interested, please email Penny Bennett at penny.bennett@colorado.edu. An application and interview will be required, and if selected, you will do HIPPA, etc, trainings online, and project trainings on campus. We will also ask for documentation of common vaccinations.
