Some medical and other health professions schools have started to host webinars about their programs and the application process. Others have created recorded content that enables potential applicants to learn about the schools and their programs. Viewing such videos or participating in such webinars can be very informative, especially in the year leading up to your application to medical or other health professions schools. As we perused school websites, we list webinars and videos below. This isn't an exhaustive list. We encourage you to look for others at schools that may be of interest to you, particularly in the year before you plan to apply.
