Fast Track Facts:
Medical school enrollment hit an all-time high: 100,723 students in 2025 (If you think AI is making less students want to be doctors, you’re wrong).
Deadline extended for ONE day only
Apply today to The Clinical Scholars Grand Rounds Symposium
We heard you! You have been working on your applications, fine-tuning your CVs and writing your statements, but you just want one more day to submit.
We got your emails and we see the hard work you’re putting in to your applications, so we are opening up the application for one more day to help you put your best foot forward and show us why you would be a good fit for this program!
And if you’re still on the fence? Consider this:
Shadowing is the bare minimum for a premed applicant, especially a BS/MD applicant. What moves your application is clinical depth. Like the ability to reason through a case, defend a plan, and communicate the way a physician does.
That is exactly what the Clinical Scholars Grand Rounds Symposium builds. Created by a team of highly unique dual-degree physicians and surgeons, who have been in your shoes already. In five weeks, you construct a full Grand Rounds patient case presentation, present it live to a panel of physicians and surgeons, and walk away with a physician-verified 6-hour clinical certificate, written clinical feedback, and a letter of recommendation opportunity. You also get to meet and network with this unique panel of doctors!
Not only that, but the Grand Prize for the winning presentation is a personalized research mentorship track with one of the panelists designed to lead you to a publication-ready abstract.
So if you’ve been cold-emailing to get research with no luck, here’s another opportunity you can take advantage of!
I wish there was a chance like this when I was a premed.
Applications close tonight. The cohort is capped and acceptances are rolling. This is the last day to get in. Class starts on July 6 (virtual).

This is an opportunity to learn how to think like a doctor, build and present your own Grand Rounds presentation to a panel of physicians and surgeons, earn clinical hours, a potential letter of recommendation, networking opportunities with dual-degree elite doctors, and a chance to win a personalized research mentorship!
What our students learned from the Clinical Scholars Grand Rounds Symposium:
"This case taught me that physicians treat patients, not just test results. A normal CT scan can be one of the most important findings because it helps rule out dangerous conditions while clinical judgment confirms the diagnosis." |
"There is truly so much that goes into making a diagnosis, and this case helped me appreciate how many different perspectives physicians must consider when evaluating the same set of symptoms." |
"From this specific case, I learned a lot about how physicians look at everything, whether it is relevant or not... Physicians are looking and listing all those details whenever they talk about the patient." |
"Working through this case taught me about the order of how physicians think. First they get the chief complaint and history of present illness which is used to organize the symptoms into severity... It is a step-by-step process that builds on what we previously know." |
"I learned that finding the correct diagnosis for a patient is not by checking if the present symptoms match the suspected diagnosis, but by using the negative symptoms to narrow down one diagnosis from many." |
"The ultrasound in this case not only confirmed a pregnancy, but confirmed one in the uterus, excluding both an ectopic pregnancy and appendicitis. This action most likely made the patient's diagnosis and treatment faster." |
"What surprised me most was that a 'normal' CT didn't confirm or deny anything — it simply cleared away the dangerous alternatives so a clinical diagnosis could be made with confidence. This reframed diagnosis for me as a process of exclusion supported by structured tools rather than a single decisive test." |
"I learned how physicians are able to connect seemingly unrelated symptoms to an underlying diagnosis." |
"I learned how to read between the lines and pay attention to the smallest of symptoms and how they affect the patient's daily life... From there, they develop differential diagnoses, which can then be narrowed down by weighing evidence for and against each possibility." |
"Working through this case taught me that physicians must look beyond the most obvious explanation and use both history and diagnostic testing to identify the true cause of a patient's symptoms." |
