The program has been impactful for over 200 students since its inception in 2005.  95% of the BY students go on to further education in Medical and PA schools after graduating from the program.

The benefits of the program are extraordinary and endless but it is worthy to list a few of the attributes below:

Mentoring by a team of Physicians and PA’s all committed to furthering the education of the BY student

Cohort of over 25 students working together throughout the year 

Hands-on surgical experience with multiple providers

Extensive patient connections with hundreds of interactions per week

Education sessions with the providers after patient hours to understand the day’s encounters

Electronic Medical Records exposure and fluency

Outside office activities with the providers and peers including book groups, hiking, and pickleball, just to name a few.  All of these activities serve to foster a strong team experience.

The program leads to a lifetime of memories, educational experiences, and a set of friends for years to come. If interested, please have email your CV/Resume to bridgeyear@gmail.com. We will begin the hiring process in early January.
