“Being a Cardea Fellow to me is about being a part of a community of students who I can relate and grow with on my path to be a doctor. I like that I am with other students like me who are learning and sometimes struggling together. Cardea provides a constant and growing community that everyone on the pre-health path would be grateful to have. ”
