Dr. Elizabeth A.

During medical school, Dr. Alt received the Lowell E. Bellin, MD Award for Excellence in Preventive Medicine and Community Health and began what would become a lifelong commitment to public health and mentorship. Dr. Alt completed residency training in family medicine at Montefiore Medical Center and public health/preventive medicine at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. She served as Chief Resident and later as an Empire Clinical Research Investigator Fellow, developing group well-child visits, launching a dual-degree residency in preventive and family medicine, and contributing to patient-centered medical home research.

As an Associate Program Director at Carney Hospital, Dr. Alt’s role allowed her to gain direct insights into the admissions process and what makes candidates stand out. She also received the Carney Family Medicine Residency Faculty Mentorship Award. In her current role as a faculty coach and clinical associate professor at the Tufts University School of Medicine, Dr. Alt mentors students from their first year through graduation, supporting them through academic, personal, and professional development and guiding many through the residency application process. These experiences have given her a deep understanding of the expectations at every stage of medical training and the insight to help pre-med and medical students present their best selves.

Dr. Alt’s strengths as a coach lie in her ability to connect meaningfully with students, understand their goals, and tailor her guidance to reflect their unique voice and journey. She’s passionate about helping aspiring physicians navigate the complexities of the admissions process. She is drawn to admissions consulting because of her strong commitment to equity in medical education and her belief in the power of mentorship. She finds deep fulfillment in helping others reach their goals and is excited to support the next generation of healthcare leaders.
