Gateways Program

What have you done since graduating from Gateways and what are your plans next year?

Since graduating from Gateways, I started my first year of medical school. Next year, as a part of my school's unique 1-3 program, I will be continuing my medical education at a CHC in Tucson. 

How did Gateways prepare you for your future?

Gateways did an incredible job preparing me academically for medical school. I have not only seen a large majority of the information being taught, but I have also acquired study habits and test-taking skills that allow me to be confident in my academic abilities. 

What advice do you have for the current/future students of Gateways?

My advice would be to use this time to experiment with different study techniques-- group studying, Anki, etc. I found by the end of the year I liked to study using many different methods, so you do not have to choose just one. In terms of stress management, find little things that make the long hours of studying better like a fun study group, and remember to take time to recharge! You will be more efficient in the end. Good luck!
