Every student who participates in First Rounds carries a story worth telling.

These are the words of students who took a chance, filled out an application, and showed up – some for the very first time in a clinical setting. They come from different backgrounds, different schools, and different goals, but they all started in the same place: curious, determined, and looking for a way in.

Read their stories. If something resonates, that feeling is your sign to apply.

If you are a student who has participated in shadowing with First Rounds and would like to submit a reflection, do so here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeWxb5QpR-wCFsbbt-FPOWMKkllxw8uy5gmn9pHdgchx3wkJg/viewform?usp=publish-editor

Stories are shared with full permission from each participant. First and last names or first names only are used based on individual preference.
