Questions

Is the app different from the Portal?

It’s the Portal, on your phone. You sign in with the same account, and what you save in one is there in the other. Some longer work, like drafting essays, is easier on a laptop.

Yes. A free account includes the school directory, your school list, the Logbook and the daily questions. Members also get their requests, messages and sessions with their team.

Which phones does it work on?

iPhones with iOS 16.4 or later, and Android phones, in the US and Canada. Anyone can use the Portal on the web at portal.motivatemd.com.

I used The PreMed App. Do I need a new account?

No. Update the app, sign in with the email you used in The PreMed App and choose Email me a code. Your hours, schools and notes came with you.
