Doctors, nurses, psychologists, educators, scientists, engineers, accountants, lawyers, and the whole array of other highly skilled and "nominally civilized" men and women, were devoting their considerable skills, acquired at great effort and expense, to the extermination of a people.

As one of 55 freshmen in Northwestern's Honors Program in Medical Education, Kang is guaranteed admission to the NU Medical School after completing three years of undergraduate work at NU — three years that won't include preparation for the MCAT or the stress of maintaining the perfect grades coveted by medical school admissions committees.

And according to Kang and others HPME students, this intrinsic devotion to the medical profession at a young age is what drives HPME students to finish both their undergraduate and medical educations in only seven years.
