"One of the most rewarding aspects of the program was the chance to propose my own research idea, pitch it to the program, and ultimately lead an incredible team of peers who have since become some of my closest friends. Together, our team worked tirelessly to bring our project to life, supported by an amazing faculty mentor who empowered us to take a hands-on, independent approach to lab work. This experience taught me invaluable skills in lab work, scientific writing, teamwork, and leadership—all of which have been pivotal in my journey toward becoming a physician-scientist."
