Dr. Lynne Holden introduces the Mentoring in Medicine program to us.

Dr. Irwin Dannis had many uplifting stories to tell us about students who got into medical school despite some weaknesses on their application. It’s about the whole package, and there are always ways to make up for any weaknesses you may have!
