What should you do with YOUR gap year(s)? Since starting medical school at the Larner College of Medicine (University of Vermont), I have met and worked with so many fascinating students who have taken a non-traditional path into medicine. I directed the spotlight on these incredible people in hopes of offering inspiration and insight for those who are thinking about applying to medical school, figuring out what to do for their gap years, or for those seeking meaningful stories of adversity and self-reflection. Sit back, relax, and of course...mind the gap!

Customer Reviews
Didn’t convince me to go to med school, but
Applying to and attending med school seems like a brutal academic experience from the outside looking in. This show gives a refreshing perspective on not only a variety of career paths that a medical education can give you, but moreso alternative paths that you can take on your way to becoming a medical professional, should that be your goal. Bravo, Jeremy and team! -Lance
