July marked the 17^th-annual University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson Medical Student Bridge Program, in which 28 students began their medical education before most of their peers.

Prof. Marc Tischler first created the program 19 years ago when he participated in the Dean’s Teaching Scholars Program. Years later, he continues to dedicate his time and energy to incoming medical students.

The Bridge Program helps “non-traditional,” first-year medical students build strong study skills and allows them to form connections with fellow classmates before the other students arrive.
