"Having the med-students come in and talk about their personal journey to medical school really helped me understand what the next step in the process is."
"I learned that I do belong in the field of medicine, and there are people like me that have made it and succeeded in their health care journey"
"SEP has taught me professionalism, holistic skills as well as informed me about diffrent stories people have experienced. All of which has aided me to be a better, more motivated pre-medical student."
"The SEP program has given me the opportunity to attain many resources and lots of information. Never did i think Mr. Charles and Mr. Layne would give us the opportunity to take a mock medical school interview, a mock MCAT, and honestly all the speakers and information we got in such a short period of time. It was a lot! But it was what i needed. I feel like they carved a clearer path for me, I am immensely grateful."
