The Daily Northwestern {01.31.2002} 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. But fitting both undergraduate and medical education into seven years doesn't appeal to all future doctors. www.dailynorthwestern.com /daily/issues/2002/01/31/nyou/n-hbmernd.shtml   (1337 words)
