Helping aspiring doctors attend medical school with a new digital experience

01

Opportunity

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) sought to improve brand recognition of its products and services with a unified online experience that would become the primary avenue for aspiring physicians, medical students, and residents to manage their medical careers.

Solution
