What is the BS/MD Program like to get into a medical career#Fall25?

To all BS/MD program participants... How did you get in? What was it like? Would you suggest it to someone who wants to become a General Surgeon? Does it matter which one? For example, Brown's PLME vs. Union's BS/MD program with Albany Medical College?
Thank you!

I’m finishing my STEM OPT year after an M.S. in Advanced & Intelligent Manufacturing (lots of additive-manufacturing R&D and defect-mitigation work). I’ve spent six months applying for mechanical / manufacturing roles but the H-1B sponsorship requirement keeps stalling my search.

How can we advocate for better pay for mental health professionals?

There is a shortage of qualified clinicians, yet salaries are really low. In some agencies, the pay is so low that clinicians cannot make a living wage, let alone pay their living expenses or pay off their student loans. Higher salaries or fees will attract AND retain more professionals.
