"HPME has truly been the single most powerful opportunity that I have ever been offered - I think if there's one thing I'd want people to know is that this is the chance for you to turn your education into a longitudinal experience. If you do happen to know what you want to do (and even if you don't), you can string together experiences in a coherent way (with some adjustments along the way as you learn what you do and don't like) to create a pretty compelling story and background that will set you up for the opportunity to make some potentially amazing contributions to medicine in your career."
