This is what the network looks like in action. 🤝 When final-year AUC student Alexander Wascher was navigating the residency interview process, he reached out to Raul Madrigal, MD '18, for a bit of mentorship.

We never move forward alone. That's the AUC difference. 💙

Before alumni spotlights lived on your feed, they lived here. 📖

This is Issue #1 of AUC Connections, Winter/Spring 2006, back when AUC's alumni community was finding its voice (in print). Inside: graduates delivering care in crisis zones, fighting for patients no one else would advocate for, building practices on their own terms, and coming together for the very first AUC Alumni Weekend.

Nearly two decades later, our alumni are still making headlines. The names and platforms have changed. The impact hasn't.

Two AUC alumni. One room. Endless inspiration. ⚕️ At a recent ScribeAmerica event in Boston, future physicians got up close with the kind of careers that start at AUC.

🥼 Joshua Franz, MD '25, shared his journey as an AUC Fellow, bringing firsthand perspective on navigating the path to residency.

🥼 Monica Makhija, MD '07, brought the long view, a Neurologist and Sleep Medicine specialist affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess-Needham and a Neurology Instructor at Harvard University School of Medicine.

🚪🩺 AUC's parent company, Covista (formerly Adtalem Global Education), has launched Covista Open Doors, our multi-year impact commitment to build and sustain the healthcare workforce.

Covista Open Doors focuses on three key areas of impact:

🔍 Discover: Inspire the next generation to explore healthcare careers through hands-on experiences and mentorship. Through our new collaboration with NAF, we're bringing career exploration to students nationwide.
