Pre-Internship Graduate Testimonials
Comments from Former Graduates
“I have to say that I will recommend the Fifth Pathway Program at New York Medical College, without any hesitance, to any foreign graduate that wants to practice medicine in the U.S. It is a program that will help them become familiar with hospitals, patients and physicians in the United States and also, give them the Opportunity to interact with the various factors involved in the health related fields. I thank everyone for their teachings, support and unconditional hard work to help me fulfill my greatest achievement of becoming a physician in the United States.”
“The first thing in my mind is, Thank You ! I never imagined that this road would be so gratifying and filled of emotions. Came to New York without knowing what to expect from this program. The experience, adventure, but most of all it was the people from all the attendings to the Fifth Pathway officials which surprised me the most. They were the most comprehensive people I have dealt with since the beginning of my career. My interests were their interests. It has been a wonderful experience, Thanks!”
“This past year has truly been a learning experience. The Fifth Pathway Program allowed me to see people as physicians, patients and human beings in the real world. I have made great friends and I particularly was very happy, even when the work was hard. Thank you for a great experience.”
“This program gave me the opportunity to blend in with the interns and residents and play an active role in the patient care. The faculty and staff treated me no different than the other members of the house staff. This year was a great experience and will benefit me in the future when I begin my residency. I highly recommend St. Joseph’s hospital for future Fifth Pathway students.”
“The Fifth Pathway Program at New York Medical College, is an excellent way for students from the Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara, Mexico to enter into US Hospitals and medicine. It is a strong program and will continue to grow. I have learned a lot this year and enjoyed my experiences. All of the Fifth Pathway staff is friendly, helpful and accommodating. The Administrator is an extraordinary person, very capable, organized and helpful. It was great to have a responsible and reliable person to help us out, especially during my application process for residency. They helped make it much easier and responded to my requests, etc. very quickly. I don’t think the Fifth Pathway Program could have any better people than these.”
“The New York Medical College Fifth Pathway Program has helped pave the way for me to be able to practice medicine in the United States, thus, nullifying any doubts that I previously had about the practice of medicine. The days are long and sometimes tiresome, but at the end, you always go home with tons of information in your brain. I thank everyone that I came into contact with at this program.”
