In this episode of the Black Doctors Podcast, Dr. Steven Bradley discusses how pre-medical students can build an extracurricular portfolio that impresses medical school admissions committees, even without relying on GPA or MCAT scores. Dr. Bradley outlines a five-pillar blueprint and offers a 90-day action plan to help students demonstrate their readiness for a career in medicine. Key takeaways include the importance of quality over quantity in activities, the significance of consistent and impactful experiences, and the value of targeted roles in clinical exposure, underserved service, research, leadership, and advocacy. Additionally, practical advice is provided on packaging these experiences for the AMCAS application, securing strong letters of recommendation, and navigating potential pitfalls.Use the discount code: BDPODCAST and save $25 off all TrueLearn USMLE, COMLEX and Residency Smartbanks.  Do you need help with relaxation and decreasing stress?
