info_outlineOn May 19, 2017, four Florida Atlantic High School students signed letters of intent as the inaugural class to attend the FAU College of Medicine. They started training as doctors in the fall of 2018 and are now eligible to work as paid medical residents when they're 22 or 23, making them significantly younger than the average medical graduate, who starts a residency around age 30. During this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Cara Busheme, Ajay Desai, who are in their third year of medical school, and Sarah Palumbo, a 4th-year student in the inaugural class. Please tune in to hear about their journey and a big surprise announcement.
