I just wanted to say thank you again for helping me with the interview prep. I went into my interview earlier today feeling so anxious, but I kept remembering what you had told me and stuck to it! I came out feeling more confident about my performance than I did going in. The advice you gave me really helped my responses stand out from the other applicants during the group interview

It is hard to believe that were are into this for five years and even more amazing to look at the success.    In the beginning, I thought even a 50% success rate would be amazing!

If you are looking for a tight-knit program that treats you as more than a nameless pre-med on the assembly line, provides advocacy for what you need to succeed at the clinic where you work and what you need to thrive during the application process, and acts as a collaborative family offering breaks from the stress in the form of food and fun activities....then I highly recommend this Reconnect Gap-Year Fellowship!

Beyond clinical skills, this program taught me logistical, practical, interprofessional, and business knowledge of healthcare. Most importantly, it gave me experience in rural medicine.

Don't be afraid to take a gap year! I have learned so much more about myself and the medical field that I never would have learned had I jumped right into medical school
