Brian Liang (fourth-year UConn medical student and master of public health candidate), Eddyson Altidor (second-year UConn dental student), and Julia Levin (first-year UConn medical student), also discuss how their involvement in the Connecticut Area Health Education Center and its Urban Service Track will prepare them for their careers in medicine and dental medicine.
I would say there’s no other way to do it.
