“I believe for me that MedEx is going to be the healthy environment that I need to embrace my creativity, reach out of my comfort zone, and form relationships that will impact me in ways I could never imagine. Other programs could offer me the educational aspect that MedEx does, but I don’t believe they could even come close to the involvement the staff already has in our lives.”
– Abby Bullard (2019)
“On top of MedEx being so informative, I built strong relationships with my peers and the staff. I gained a family and made connections with amazing people, who I know will help facilitate my journey to a great future. This academy made me realize my love for my peers, interns, advisers/directors, and support systems. I am confident in the fact that MedEx will always be there to provide me solace if I ever need it and am eternally grateful for being accepted into this family and academy.”
