Methods This workshop consisted of a short didactic presentation, a large-group activity, and case discussions in an effort to address four objectives describing the functions of the Office of Admissions, as well as identifying opportunities for involvement and leadership skills fostered through engaging in admissions activities. The module was administered to diverse students and residents at three regional conferences at US medical schools between September and December 2019. Pre- and postworkshop surveys were used to analyze the efficacy of the workshop. Results More than 95% of the 70 learners agreed that all four objectives had been met. Additionally, trainees had a statistically significant increase (p < .001) in confidence in their ability to address new issues, such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or LGBT inclusion, through the admissions process and engage in discussion about admissions policies and practices. Discussion This workshop was an effective tool for introducing trainees to leadership opportunities in academic medicine via involvement with the Office of Admissions. During the workshop, students expressed feedback about wanting more ways to become involved and more examples of student involvement. Attendees might also benefit from being encouraged to research the admissions processes and leadership structures at their respective institutions.Sunny NakaePooja KothariKaren JohnsonEdgar FigueroaJohn Paul SánchezAssociation of American Medical CollegesarticleOffice of AdmissionsLeadershipAcademic Medicine Career DevelopmentAdmissions/SelectionDiversityInclusionMedicine (General)R5-920EducationLENMedEdPORTAL, Vol 16 (2020)
