Meet Aarna and Yu-Qing! Both 2024 Scotland Summer School students who've crafted AMAZING personal statements and are now diving into their UCAT prep with daily teachings and 1-1 mentoring guidance. Soon they'll be exploring their uni options with our mentor support! ☀️🤩 When you're an aspiring med student, finding a community can be tough. Not many peers at school share the same dream, teachers might not fully get the medical app process, and finding a doctor to carve out time for advice is a challenge without one in the family. On top of that, the app journey can feel like a maze. 😰😕 We get it. That's why we've created a close-knit community to steer you towards your med school dreams. We're not just here to help you get into medical school; we're here to help you build a supportive community full of lifelong friendships. Our doctors, med students, and fellow aspirants share experiences, insights and wisdom whilst also ensuring you have FUN. They are here as a shoulder to cry on, a guide to help with your well-being and a mentor on how to maintain a healthy work-life balance. ☺️🤗 Soon, worries and stress fades away, making the personal statement "easy" (in Aarna's words) and surrounding you with a diverse, caring community (as Yu-Qing put it). 🌎🌎 Join Summer School, were you are supported on your journey to becoming a doctor. https://lnkd.in/eYjV3dg8

This is invaluable. It's tough when you have an idea of the career path you want to follow, but there isn't a lot of support for it. Luckily, healthcare is universal so it's great to see a program dedicated to helping students get started. I'm just getting started too - luckily I have the support of Futuro Health, but if you go to Indiana University Fort Wayne I definitely recommend taking part in this. #medicine #healthcare #healthcarecareers #alliedhealth #careerpath #lifescience #lifesciences #biology #medical

Early care and education professionals have always been on the leading edge of research and practice in education, and 2024 is no different.

We invite you to join The CAYL Institute and our partner, Exchange Press, as we document this historic moment with actionable steps to speak up and take charge of the narrative of early care and education.
