Students are Saying
“It was so satisfying to hear how geared toward their communities these companies are and how they’re solving issues and barriers to the care that they provide to make their care more accessible. This excursion motivated me even more to want to become part of one of these programs and that’s the great thing about the broader healthcare industry is seeing how many people other than doctors are geared towards the outcome of what they’re giving people in industry angles like engineering and research & development.”
