Medical Student, University of Missouri Medical School

I was looking for an opportunity to gain experience in clinical research during a gap year, while applying to medical schools.  That’s what attracted me to the program.

My medical school interviewers were very intrigued by the AHBR program and the research I was doing, and I had a lot to share with them about my experience. Because healthcare inequities and public health issues are becoming much more important in the field of medicine, and I was able to vouch for what I had already learned, so being in the AHBR program definitely enhanced my application. I was accepted into the University of Missouri School of Medicine for Summer 2017.
