About Gary H. Goldman, M.D.
As a former member of the Weill Cornell Medical College Admissions Committee, Dr. Goldman has unique insights into the medical school application process. He has shared these insights with students by lecturing at leading universities on medical school admissions: how to optimize coursework, extracurricular activities, the AMCAS application, and the all-important interview in order to achieve success.
After hearing his lectures, students sought out Dr. Goldman for his individualized counsel. During these informal interactions, Dr. Goldman found that many students needed quality information, emotional support and encouragement that was lacking in most career counseling services. It was through these relationships and his students’ overwhelming appreciation and success that PreMed Consulting was born.
