"This program was an amazing way to learn about FIMRC and its project sites while working on a project that would make a positive impact. The profession introductions were extremely engaging and all the professionals we met with shared interesting and new perspectives on the medical field. I love health science, so I also really enjoyed the case studies since they were all about problem solving and learning about patient care."
