Medical schools are looking for applicants with a commitment to the medical profession. At Transy, we connect students to experiences that will help them with that piece of the puzzle.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this summer&#8217;s Baptist Health <a href=\"https:\/\/baptisthealthdeaconess.com\/For-You\/Health-Care-Professionals\/Medical-Education\/University-of-Louisville-School-of-Medicine-Trover\/College-Rural-Scholar-Program\">College Rural Scholar Program<\/a>, Aubrey Knop, a biology major from Greenville, Tennessee, said she learned not only the value of rural medicine, but also the &#8220;importance of creating relationships with patients, being an active listener and always being willing to answer any questions no matter the time of day. I learned what it takes to be a rural doctor, and I am so thankful for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several other Transylvania students participated in Baptist Health&#8217;s Pre-Med Academy, which provides mentorships with physicians in a variety of specialties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"633\"

these programs can also help them find their path in life. &#8220;Summer pre-health experiences not only make Transy students competitive medical school applicants; they, many times, confirm a student&#8217;s desire to pursue a career in medicine.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transylvania students have taken advantage of summer break to get an edge on
