Here’s some of the things our alumni are saying about us
My name is Abby, a premedical student studying neuroscience, and I am pursuing a minor in global health and health policy.
Since I have been here, I have been rotating through different departments: surgery, emergency, OBGYN, pediatrics, and ENT. It has been a great experience. My mentors have been incredible and really helpful, answering any questions I have, allowing me to see procedures up close, and explaining various global health aspects.
