What Tier IV students say about MedEx

“Today was the final day of interviews, and it is amazing how far I feel like I have come over my time with MedEx. Today I didn’t feel the same nervousness I continuously felt throughout the last interview day. I felt empowered and confident in who I was.”
-Zach Jasper (2019)






“We talked about how important it is to have a full-body yes from your brain, stomach, and heart. If we don’t have a full-body yes we need more time, experiences, and information. This morning was a reminder of how important it is to stay true to yourself and to listen to how you are feeling. I know my purpose as a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a student, and I cannot wait for the rest of my purposes to be revealed as I continue along my journey.”

-Lauren Adams (2019)
