“I chose AUC’s UK- Track because I was attracted to the smaller class sizes. I loved the idea of a somewhat individualized-based learning, and having a smaller cohort meant what I would have a stronger support system throughout my educational journey”

“We have students from all different countries bringing their unique perspectives and culture to medicine. It has helped me knowing I am always on a first name basis with all my professors, knowing I am not a number in a class. The UK Track has been pivotal in my success. It has taught me the education and skills needed to help me become the physician I always wanted to be.”
