My Med Future

The My Med Future app contains a number of useful tools, resources, and information for anyone hoping to become a healthcare professional, as well as parents, academic advisors, and college and university faculty members.
The "Explore" section of the app provides a general overview of several health professions, including average salaries, educational requirements, and more. This is a great place to start for those who are newly beginning to consider a career in the health professions.
The "Track Progress" and "Research" sections are designed for all users, including those who are currently pursuing a pre-health path at a college, university, or part of a formal post-bacc program, as well as those who may have already graduated and are looking to change careers.
"Track Progress" provides users with information and access to resources that will help to better understand prerequisite course requirements, GPAs, and entrance exams, experiences, and even gauge applicant competitiveness. This information is incredibly useful as users work toward meeting requirements and self-assess their competitiveness for professional school.
The "Research" section helps to streamline the process of researching programs, including prerequisite and extracurricular requirements, at institutions across the United States. Users search by profession, select a region of the country, then a state, then they are provided with the institutions in each state that have these programs. Each program links to the area of the institution's website that contains admissions information. Additionally, a link at the top of each state's view titled, "View Program Quick Stats!", provides information about the institution's location, size of each class, and more. Lastly, a "Notes" button has been added to each state view allowing users to take notes on information they find while researching programs.
The "Resources" section contains incredibly useful tools, such as a competitiveness questionnaire and note-taking tool to document various experiences, as well easy access to additional resources, such as our undergraduate guide, tips to prepare for admissions interviews, overview of composing a personal statement, and much more!
Initially, the app will focus on 7 popular health professions: allopathic and osteopathic medicine (M.D./D.O.), dentistry, optometry, physician assistant, physical therapy, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine, with the possibility of additional professions being added at a later date.
Finally, the My Med Future app is intended to supplement, not replace, the valuable advice and insights users might receive when working in-person with pre-health advisors, general advisors, and professional mentors. Users are strongly encouraged to seek out these individuals, if available at their institutions, to help them further understand and determine how to best utilize information they access through the app.
