Mitchell and Dan are physicians who went through the career-change path themselves. Since 2020, they've helped hundreds of non-traditional applicants get accepted to top programs like Bryn Mawr, Goucher, Hopkins, Scripps, and Georgetown.
Whether you need help choosing programs, writing your personal statement, or preparing for interviews — we've done it, and we'll help you do it too.

Career changer who completed a top postbac program before medical school. Specializes in application strategy and personal statement development.

Also a career changer and postbac graduate. Focuses on interview preparation and program selection for non-traditional applicants.
We founded Personal Premed in 2020 because we saw a gap in the advising market. Most premed advisors have never been career changers themselves. They haven't navigated the postbac application process, worried about whether their non-science background is "good enough," or agonized over which programs to target.
We both left established careers, completed competitive postbac programs, and went on to medical school. That firsthand experience — combined with five years of advising hundreds of applicants — means we know exactly what admissions committees look for and how to position your application.
Our advising is specific, not generic. We don't hand you a template and wish you luck. We assess your individual background, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and build a strategy tailored to your situation. That's why our clients have a 100% acceptance rate to their target programs.
Every engagement starts with understanding your background and goals. We'll recommend the right level of support for your situation. All sessions are conducted via phone or Zoom.
