I love that Medicats provides an environment for aspiring doctors to learn more about medicine directly from doctors and that it provides opportunities to get involved in shadowing and in serving the community. This helps pre-meds who dont have assistance to know what they need to be doing to prepare for med school and to have a network of support.
