Success Stories

I thoroughly enjoyed my job shadow experience because it provided me with a realistic depiction of the day-to-day life of a working physician, as well as taught me more about working with people first-hand. I am now more familiar with medical terminology, dental procedures and hospital practices. I learned so much in such a short period of time, and am thankful I got the chance to job shadow at Broadlawns Medical Center's Dental Clinic.

I just wanted to thank you again for all the work you did to help me set up shadowing experiences. I enjoyed my experience, and I hope I can stay in touch and involved with AHEC throughout medical school.

I am very grateful that you found this internship opportunity for me. The time has flown by so quickly, and I am really enjoying my experience here. Darren (preceptor) has been great! He lets me do a lot on my own, but is always there when I need help. I have learned so much at The Project already and I can't wait to see where this experience takes me!

YES MED camp gives you more hands on experience then high school and helps prepare you for the future.

YES MED really helped me find out more things that I liked about the sciences and medicine. YES MED is a great experience and I learned a ton. I would recommend this camp to anyone interested in science or medicine.

Kelsey, Dallas County

I would definitely recommend this experience (YES MED) to other students! In fact, I have already encouraged students in the class below me at my school to apply for YES MED next spring. YES MED was a fun experience, and everything I learned was so cool! For anyone truly interested in the medical field, this camp is something not to pass up! And for those who are not sure, it will definitely give you an answer.

This has been the best meeting (Continuing Education Class) I've been to in years and look forward to the next!

Diane, Polk County

My experience at FPCI was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better internship site and I don't think I could have learned any more! Thank you so much for all your help, and please let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
