Hello
A letter from MedPrep’s Founder
Medicine in the 21st Century is exciting, but for far too many of our young people, a career in medicine isn’t possible. MedPrep is here to help bridge the gap. We provide hands on experiences, early exposure to medical professions and targeted support to address students’ needs and skill gaps. Our supportive learning environment offers advisory, mentoring and medicine-related elective courses. We look forward to having you as a part of our student body and taking this unique journey with you!
Dr. Anthony Francisco Ph.D.
