Thank you to all our amazing community members who have contributed to these threads! Please consider supporting SDN and our nonprofit mission to help build a diverse doctor workforce.

Student Doctor Network

We’ve been on the Internet for over 20 years doing just one thing: providing health career information for free or at cost. We do this because we believe that the health education process is too expensive and too competitive. Many people and organizations have built their businesses making money on students who are desperate for any opportunity to become a doctor.

We believe that all students deserve the same access to high-quality information. We believe that providing high-quality career advice and information ensures that everyone, regardless of income or privilege, has a chance to achieve their dream of being a doctor.

SDN is published by the Health Professional Student Association, a nonprofit educational organization.
