"Yes, this experience has altered my future goals immensely. Prior to the program I was pretty sure that I would be going into medical school and specializing in either neurology or neurosurgery. However, this program made me realize that I am 100% sure that I would like to go into this field and overall medicine. Another amazing change this has done for me is to develop connections with others in this field and gaining mentors who I hope to work with in the future."
