For those of you who are following our podcasts, we just released episode 5<https://soundcloud.com/tri-institutional-md-phd/tri-i-pod-episode-5> where we discuss the motivation for Gateways and some unique features such as Big Sibs, travel reimbursement for parents, etc. To date, over 1,600 people have listened to our podcasts, so if you haven’t yet had the opportunity to do so, I strongly encourage you to give it a try. It’s a great way to learn about our Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program and our Gateways to the Laboratory Program.
