…the school will waive tuition for its first 5 classes, allowing incoming students to fully focus on their studies…

I still can’t believe Kaiser Permanente ‘s School of Medicine is waiving tuition for their first 5 classes. It’s just mind blowing. This is the kind of motivation needed where financial boundaries are lifted and are not an obstacle. All my respect for KP.

#kpmedschool @KPMedSchool is leading this trend. Free tuition for a different kind of student. A different kind of school. Creating amazing physicians to lead healthcare change in the world. https://t.co/liLSeFzFjF
