Pre Med and Pre PA Opportunities

"Dr. Miles' letter of recommendation was invaluable to my application and I had so much fun learning all kinds of random facts (medical or not!) in between patients. I don't think there is another doctor who will come to the office on a weekend to help you prepare for an interview. I will always cherish my time at MFM and I'm happy I got to learn so much while having fun." 

- Stephanie, Augusta University, PA Grad 2021

"I cannot say 'Thank You!' enough for giving me the best workplace I could have imagined; this place has impacted me for life, and I will never forget my time and the memories made here." 

- Carlin, Emory University

BACKGROUND

Dr. Miles was given some key opportunities while in college that gave him wonderful medical experiences and helped gain entrance into medical school and further shape his medical career. He enjoys teaching and takes pride in helping assist others who similarly are trying to pursue careers in medicine. 

THE EXPERIENCE

We hire Pre-Health candidates, including Pre-Med and Pre-PA, to work vital roles in the office. We are often approached by Pre-Health students to volunteer for us. Instead, we offer actual employment opportunities. Admissions committees frequently report the breadth and depth of this unique patient care job is far better than the typical hospital scribe job. In fact, hospital scribes apply for our jobs to gain better clinical experience and shore up their applications.

Hiring PreMed and PrePA students in Newnan has allowed us to staff our office with smart, motivated, and caring individuals who help deliver the necessary care to our patients in a compassionate way. It also allows us to help these individual employees gain the experience they need to properly apply to Medical School and Physician Assistant School.

We get outstanding workers while the PreHealth candidates get invaluable medical experience and hours needed for a robust application. Dr. Miles and the other office staff give valuable insight into the application process. We hold as many mock interviews as needed to prepare for actual interviews, while giving feedback on body language, your approach to questions, and delivery of your best answers. Dr. Miles also assists with personal statements, and provides actual medical learning opportunities. Dedicated, hard-working employees always get a letter of recommendation that they deserve.

STAND OUT!

We continuously review employee resumes and help create ways to set themselves apart from other applicants. We have had employees with less than average stats get into many target programs. Some with very good stats have even been offered full-ride scholarships.

We promote and assist in "Special Projects" to further build their resumes and applications. These optional projects have included starting our own healthcare podcast - Health Files With Dr. Miles, a video education series - 2 Docs and The Fox, clinical research projects on cholesterol and hypertension, using artificial intelligence in medicine, and development of other patient education resources. Future projects could include just about anything of special interest that improves patient care or satisfaction.

OUR DOCTORS

Dr. Miles and Dr. Fricks both enjoy teaching and each has taught medical students, physician assistant students, and nurse practitioner students over the years for their family medicine rotations. Schools represented include Emory University, the Medical College of Georgia, Mercer University, and others. 

Also, while working at our office, know that you will be working with influential doctors who have spent their careers teaching medical students and residents, directing a primary care residency program, serving on a U.S. Congressman's Medical Advisory Committee, serving on the Governor's Georgia Board of Health Care, speaking on and teaching a host of medical topics, serving on Georgia Tech's PreHealth Advisory Council, working in both hospital, academic, and private practice settings, and participating as faculty at various medical schools.

APPLYING

If you are a hard working, intelligent, friendly, and compassionate individual trying to bolster your application and gain acceptance into Medical School or Physician Assistant School, and you would like to apply for a position, send us your resume and cover letter.

You may also bring your information by the office in Newnan in person. While our employees have included those living in Newnan, Peachtree City, Fayetteville, LaGrange, Palmetto and the greater Atlanta area, we prefer if you live within 40 minutes of our office.

Generally we hire graduates who are taking a bridge or gap year to strengthen their applications for professional school. However, we do occasionally hire superb candidates for a shorter time.
