All documents must be submitted together to be accepted. Documents submitted separately will not be accepted. The Pre-Health Advising Center will merge your personal statement document with your completed HPAC form to complete this section.

TMDSAS Medical Applicant Personal Statement:

The medical applicant personal essay asks you to explain your motivation to seek a career in medicine. You are asked to include the value of your experiences that prepare you to be a physician. The essay is limited to 5000 characters, including spaces.

All documents must be submitted together to be accepted. Documents submitted separately will not be accepted. The Pre-Health Advising Center will merge your resume with your completed HPAC form to complete this section.

The purpose of putting your resume together to help you keep track of your accomplishments for your medical or dental application. Note: You will not upload a resume directly into the TMDSAS application.

You will notice on the resume template included below that there are different sections that need to be completed with your personal information. These instructions will help you to accomplish what HPAC needs and much of what TMDSAS is looking for. Refrain from changing font styles or sizes—the content of the resume should speak for itself.

OBJECTIVE

Every résumé has a brief statement of objective or purpose. This allows you to tailor the information to address the position for which you are applying.

Be sure to leave a line between each listing. Your degree granting institution is listed before classes taken at a community college, if they have overlapping dates. Do not include that you were in the Honors College. That carries no weight on a résumé. Dates of attendance are the semester you began to the last semester you took classes. If you are presently in courses, the end date is “present.” For institutions where you didn’t earn a degree, use a descriptive, e.g. College Coursework, Post baccalaureate Studies, etc., and a field of focus, e.g. Biological Sciences.

EMPLOYMENT

Paid work is listed under the employment section. List employment in reverse chronological order.

Position/Activity Title Dates of activity Name of Institution / Organization Location Experience/Training description (hrs worked/wk)

Descriptions must be limited to 50 characters, including spaces.

HONORS/AWARDS
