Negrete and Patel believe that early exposure matters. Medical training is a long and expensive commitment and students deserve opportunities to explore what different paths truly look like before choosing one. For students navigating long waitlists in traditional premed programs, their IntroSem became a rare and meaningful entry point into medicine for some."
