“The science and art of medicine at its core is still an apprenticeship and thus mentors play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our medical practice. On interview day, the faculty was amazing. Yet, what resonated with me the most was the community focus of NGHS. The physicians genuinely care about the well-being of their patients and empower them to make informed choices about their care, an approach I strive to have in the future.”
