Welcome Back!

The M3's and M4's have been working hard since July, but to our M1's and M2's, 

welcome to the new academic year! Congrats to our M1 class for successfully completing 

all their scholastic aptitude dance-like requirements and jumping through all those 

application-related hoops. Hopefully all that effort leading up to today has been 

worth it -- welcome to Med School!
