Abstract

As calls to diversify the healthcare workforce continue to increase, advisors need to understand how admissions committees receive information on applicant disclosures, especially in light of holistic review. While advisors aim to effectively support their students in presenting narratives that come from an asset-based perspective, they may also need to consider the potential concerns that these narratives may bring to admissions committees. This chapter examines several case studies and provides both the health professions advisor lens and the admissions lens on what applicants share about their identities through the application process, and how those disclosures may be viewed. Suggestions for what advisors need to know and how they can prepare students are provided.
