Benefits of Body & Soul
Here's what Evan says about ACU's Body & Soul program:
"The Body & Soul program"is an excellent way for students to learn about and even experience the medical field as they are figuring out what they want to do with their lives.
"The opportunity to meet physicians and other health professionals, as well as to work in hospitals and clinics through the shadowing program is absolutely invaluable in terms of personal experience and career planning.
"Having that kind of experience can also be quite helpful when it comes to trying to get accepted into medical school."
