What Tier III students say about MedEx
“There was just something about Tier III that made it so special. I’m not sure if that something was because we were all moving towards common goals or because we have all matured more in the past year, but either way, I know that I loved how close we all became throughout the experience. We truly had the best interns to lead us through this journey too! There were multiple times where I turned to my interns for guidance at low points and they both helped pick me back up on my feet. To my tier-mates, I have never met such a supportive group of individuals in my life, and I am forever grateful to have each one of you in my extended MedEx family. By going through Tier III with you, I have been able to learn so much about different perspectives in medicine and what it means to have true friends.”
