Cambridge Coaching MCAT Webinar: Biological Membranes

 It's a weekly live webinar about a high yield MCAT topic. It's short, sweet, and packed with valuable insight into both the topic at hand and how it's tested on the MCAT. While we are in the process of developing these materials, we are offering the webinar for free. Consider yourself a pilot student for a future Cambridge Coaching MCAT course, or textbook, or self-study platform (only the future can tell). All we ask in exchange is that you keep coming, participate in Q & A, share your feedback, and let friends know about this resource. This webinar's topic will be Biological Membranes, and will take place Friday November 13 at 1pm EST.

Nightline Panel: Increasing Awareness, Erasing Stigmas

Join Columbia Nightline for a panel discussion on Tuesday, November 17, 8:00 PM. This panel will be composed of psychological professionals and nightline alumni who will speak about their own relationship with mental health, their journey in college, career plans for the future and/or current profession. The goal of this panel is to raise awareness about mental health on campus, inform students of current resources, and promote a career in the psychological field.

We are also hoping to increase awareness about Nightline Peer Listening as a resource for students. Especially during COVID, it is very important to raise attention about this student peer listening service as a valuable resource for students. Nightline Peer Listening is an anonymous undergraduate peer support listening service to reflect, provide support and listen as well as to refer you to helpful resources on and off campus. This semester the new hours are Monday, Thursday, Friday 4-6 pm EST. The new number is 1-(301)-715-8592 or Zoom ID: 919 6449 3783. More information on how to use the service or how to volunteer as a peer listener can be found on the website or the instagram page, Nightline_BCCU.

Job Opportunity: Medical Scribe in Rheumatology Practice

Dr. Jill Ritter is seeking a highly motivated candidate who would like firsthand experience in the fast-paced environment of a solo rheumatology practice in Livingston, NJ. This is a great opportunity for a pre-med/pre-PA student seeking additional clinical exposure before graduate school. In addition, the candidate will receive one-on-one mentoring from Dr. Ritter. She is specifically looking for a candidate to start in December of 2020, so this position would be perfect for students planning on graduating early. 

The position includes the opportunity to work directly with patients. Tasks will include medical scribing, triaging patient phone calls, learning medical terminology, taking vital signs, and overall day-to-day office management. A minimum of a bachelor’s degree or equivalent is required. Prior clinical exposure is a plus. The ideal candidate will also be an enthusiastic, friendly, self-motivated team player who will hit the ground running.

If students are interested, they can send a cover letter and resume to drjillritterscribe@gmail.com.
