I've heard so many great things on the interview trail about your program and how it's helped pre-meds along the way.

Our doctors and faculty are living in the community, so they have a vested interest in this. And so yes, individuals are part of the community, but overall we're really trying to focus on healing communities.What's new at Tulane since we last spoke? It's almost e
