Testimonial

Our daughter, who was always an excellent student, was feeling overwhelmed by the idea of applying to medical school so we decided to seek out help. We spoke with many private advisors but none of them had the knowledge, experience and warmth like Dr. Freedman. Our daughter worked with Dr. Freedman throughout the whole application process and was accepted to medical school. We feel that her success and ability to get through this past year with such grace was largely because of Dr. Freedman.

Parents

The admissions process is complex. We help students and their families navigate the waters of academic medicine.

At MedEdits, we understand that parents want the best for their children. The admissions process can be as daunting and anxiety provoking for you, as a parent, as it is for your son or daughter. Sometimes students don't have access to skilled counselors at their home institutions. School advisors and medical school faculty often lack the experience, maturity and insight to really help. Advisors can be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of students they advise which limits their availability. Or, your child may be a non-traditional applicant and no longer has an advisor. This is where we come in.

Dr. Freedman supplements the guidance that students receive at their home institutions. By working one on one with applicants, she develops a personalized strategy to help them gain admission to medical school, residency or fellowship. Dr. Freedman also provides general mentoring and career guidance. She was consistently evaluated as a top faculty member by her students, residents and colleagues because of her nurturing and supportive approach to advising. At the same time, she knows how to motivate and inspire and, when necessary, how to be firm in a constructive way.

Parents are sometimes skeptical when they first contact us because they are wary that we may be another "internet scam." Many parents are surprised to speak with Dr. Freedman immediately when they call the MedEdits office. Dr. Freedman talks on a regular basis with many of her clients' parents and appreciates their unique set of concerns and questions. Hiring MedEdits and Dr. Freedman is an investment in your child's education and future.

Based on Dr. Freedman's experience, she has identified some essentials that a good advisor must possess to provide sound advice. We know you have choices but, please do your research when you consider what individual or company to hire and ask the following questions:

1Does the individual with whom you will work have actual admissions experience in the arena to which your child is applying?
It is our belief that if the person with whom you work does not have the right background, the insight your child receives may be extremely limited or flat out wrong. Ask, specifically, "have you worked on a medical school admissions committee" or "have you worked on a residency admissions committee" depending on which of these questions applies to your child's situation. If the answer is "no," go elsewhere. Dr. Freedman started gaining experience in medical admissions when she was a medical student nearly 15 years ago and, since then, has worked on both medical school and residency admissions committees as a faculty member. She knows it takes years of experience to gain enough insight regarding this process to help others succeed.

2Does the individual whom you hire practice medicine?
There are many non-physician consultants out there who help people gain admission to medical school and residency. To provide comprehensive guidance, we feel it is essential that the person who mentors your son or daughter understands what it means to actually care for patients. Dr. Freedman is board certified in emergency medicine and practices on a part time basis. She has practiced in urban, community, academic and private settings and thus has a full understanding of the different career options in medicine.

3Has the private advisor served on faculty at a major medical school?
This, too, is an essential ingredient to provide the best advice to students. Many companies - both advising and editing - hire current medical students or recent graduates to work for them. Would you hire a business school student or recent graduate to manage your retirement savings? Some private physician advisors have never worked as faculty in competitive academic environments which, again, means they have limited real life experience. Dr. Freedman has worked at elite medical institutions for most of her career.

4Does the individual have professional writing experience?
You are hiring someone to work on documents that will influence your child's success. Unless the individual you hire is a great writer, you may compromise the outcome of the application process for your child. Dr. Freedman has extensive professional writing experience and all documents submitted are reviewed by her and a professional writer/editor.

5How does the person or company you hire stay up to date with advances in medical education?
Experience, when supplemented with knowledge, can provide a powerful advantage for your child. Advances and trends in medical education are always changing and if the person with whom you work is not constantly working to improve their own knowledge, this can be a disadvantage. Dr. Freedman attends national meetings focused on medical education and reads academic journals to stay up to date.
