Synapse is a collaborative, open platform where individuals of Cal’s pre-med community can each contribute their conversations with leading healthcare professionals or share their unique experiences or ideas for others to learn from.
By reflecting on our own experiences as well as those of our peers and mentors, we can motivate, empower, and remind each other why dedicating our lives to medicine is so worthwhile.
