鈥淭hrough this program,鈥� Jamie noted, 鈥渟tudents will be able to engage in private, group discussions about topics and issues not addressed in medical school. Additionally, they will have the unique opportunity to connect one-on-one with physician mentors and dive deeper into specific areas of interest or receive guidance in a protected environment.鈥�
