Recent ICE Announcement

As shared earlier today, yesterday’s announcement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raises great concern, frustration, and disappointment. We will keep you informed and share more details as soon as we can and please know that we will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that as an ISMMS student each and every one of you has the learning and training experience you richly deserve.

AAMC Guidance – Peaceful Protests

Both aspiring physicians and medical school administrators have expressed concern that being arrested for lawful protesting may impact admission to medical school or residency. In response, the AAMC has developed guidance in support of medical student, resident, and applicant participation in demonstrations and other forms of peaceful public protest against police brutality and systemic racism.

Achieving our goal of fostering a more diverse and equitable health care workforce and system requires the critical examination of how we recruit, select, prepare and educate the next generation of physicians, including how we evaluate and consider the lived experiences and external circumstances encountered by applicants. This guidance is intended for medical school administrators, the admissions community, and residency program directors for their consideration as they review and refine their communications and processes for the upcoming selection cycles.
