This week, Dr. Dickson and I sat down again to take the conversation to another level as we talk about going out to make a difference, changing narratives, and empowering younger generations in medical education.
Highlights from the conversation:
[00:00] Asante Dickson, MD
· Co-Founder/President of Ascension Medical Educators, LLC
· A longtime advocate for social justice in healthcare and education
· Keynote speaker/Medical educator providing quality healthcare and mitigating healthcare disparities
[06:03] Ascension Medical Educators
Ascension Medical Educators is a professional coaching mentoring service in 2018. It started with an idea of changing the way we support people in the medical pipeline.
[16:28] How our upbringing affects us
Where we grow up, what house we live in, what our parents do, how our parents think, what they are exposed to and what they expose us to contribute
significantly to whatever challenges we’re about to face. To Dr. Dickson’s family, education was everything but only few people are in the medical field. So, it was up to Dr. Dickson to figure out how he would go about organic chemistry. In short, he has always lived with “there’s got to be a way, I just do not know what it is yet”. This ended up in him partnering with his mentor to start Ascension Medical Doctors.
[34:29] Who does Ascension Medical Educators help?
Medical students are in battle and they see their comrades slowly lose the battle. And so sometimes, “C = MD” becomes a coping mechanism to keep up with all the challenges. The Avatar of people that Ascension helps are those students who decide to come back to the medical school, they are now working to put together their applications, put together their medical classes to prepare themselves for admission in the medical school. Additionally, they also help students, interns and residents who need assistance with standardize tests.
With over three decades of experience from the "inside" perspective of the medical school admissions committee, Ascension Medical Educator is uniquely positioned to authentically evaluate credentials and provide honest feedback and strategic recommendations to enhance consideration for medical school admission with expert side by side coaching, to build Medical School Admission Plan.
