NCT05224427

Brief Summary

We elected to establish a pilot near-peer coaching program for URM students enrolled at the Medical College of Wisconsin MCAT program. We quantified baseline and specific time point test-anxieties using the validated Westside test anxiety scale. We asked about MCAT concerns and program impressions via a free response section and analyzed results with inductive analysis.
