What Our Students Are Saying
“The support and mentorship provided by the Healing Project has been invaluable in my journey to applying to medical school. As a first-generation immigrant, I felt lost as I started to apply to medical school, being the first person in my family to pursue this profession. However, Bassil’s mentorship, which has extended from my first draft of my personal statement for the AAMC primary application to guidance on post-interview actionables, has proven instrumental in my success and confidence in this medical school application cycle. If not for the guidance and support of Bassil, I would not have been able to navigate the complexities of the application as successfully. Additionally, the reassurance and verbal support provided by Basil have also strengthened my mental resolve and encouraged me to remain persistent even though it has been a long and arduous process. Overall, I am extremely grateful and thankful for the unwavering support and guidance provided by the Healing Project. This assistance has not only been pivotal in achieving tangible milestones in my application journey but has also played a significant role in shaping my confidence and resilience throughout this challenging process.” - B. Nasir, Harvard Class of 2023
"The mentoring that I received through the Healing Project was tremendously valuable and influential throughout the medical school application process. My mentor supported me through essay writing, interview preparation, and the decision making process. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better mentor throughout this arduous journey. Thank you, thank you Healing Project!" - N. Correira, M1 University of California, San Franscico
"The Healing Project has been a tremendous form of support for me through my pre-med journey. It has connected me with an amazing team of dedicated medical students and current physicians who are focused on creating a new generation of doctors that are representative of society’s broader patient population. As a first generation, low income student, there are many challenges and barriers to higher education and steps in my pre-emd journey that I have had to face. With the help of The Healing Project, I know that I am not alone and that I have resources from those who have also had to navigate this same path. The Healing Project’s support has been fundamental to my growth as a student and I cannot express my gratitude enough for the people that I have met through it." - V. Dang Tufts Class of 2023
“The Healing Project paired me with medical student and physician mentors who walked me through a very confusing and arduous journey that is the premed experience. I received a personalized schedule to study for the MCAT, tips to study for prerequisite classes, and mock interviews to prepare for medical school interviews. This nonprofit gave me a community of like-minded students with the same professional goals to connect. I am extremely thankful for the support that the Healing Project has provided me and I cannot wait for this next chapter of my medical journey.” - R. Tran M1, UMass Chan Medical School
