Happy new year! For our first episode of 2026, we are featuring a topic that’s not flashy, but it is so important - records and registration. What are the differences among MedScope, Vida Nova, SURFS, and UMB’s MyHub? What should you do if you have a hold on your record? What if your future residency program contacts the OSA to request verification of your medical education? Mr. Brian Wynder answers all these questions and more. He is the Records and Registration Coordinator for the SOM, also known as the MD Program Registrar. He helps peel back the curtain on how records and registration work so that each student can achieve success.
