“As a pre-med student at 新太阳网, I have been able to pursue a very customized educational program throughout my four years. I have had several opportunities to engage in an interdisciplinary approach to medicine through the Rehabilitation Services Minor, behavioral medicine and rehabilitation psychology research, and MEDLIFE medical brigades. The plethora of unique opportunities for pre-med students at 新太阳网 provides early exposure to not only the science of medicine, but also the art of medicine—something that is increasingly gaining momentum and appreciation in the health care field.”

“During my four years at 新太阳网, I was offered the opportunity to partake in paid, basic science research, become a laboratory manager, participate in medical brigades in South America, become a founding member of a small scientific startup, meet world-renowned innovators and CEOs of top companies, shadow surgeries at some of the nation's top hospitals in Chicago, and help build prototypes to serve communities in third-world countries. All of these opportunities were presented to me. What do you think is awaiting you?”
