This patient engagement opportunity is designed to be of high educational value for any premedical student committed to our profession. Future physicians are able to experience unique opportunities such as attending medical conferences with our doctors; learning from advanced peer mentors (medical students and residents); and establishing strong mentor relationships with one of our clinicians. Seminars are held to supplement the educational experience and have included private tours at university laboratories, case studies with sub-specialized dermatologists, as well as seminars and clinical skills practicals hosted by our own doctors. Meetings have also included excursions to world-class biotech companies for a first hand view of their cutting edge research. Students are encouraged to explore their interests and are welcome to organize their own seminars with guidance from Dr. Kuchnir.

As a "Doctor Assistant" each student has the opportunity to develop strong interpersonal skills in patient care by coordinating care, interviewing, scribing, and assisting in basic procedures.  An excellent clinical-based experience, students gain a well-rounded understanding of the health care system by working with providers who deliver high-quality patient care, learning the importance of clerical tasks, and attending educational events such as lectures and conferences. The environment of a private practice encourages students to create strong mentoring relationships with their providers, who are motivated to assist students through the medical school process and teach them about patient care.
