    Our first program recorded in front of a live audience. We recently held a Q&A session for prospective Pritzker students attending the 2012 Pritzker Revisit a few weeks ago. Four students—Courtney Orsbon, Sophie Shay, Kirk Cahill, and Ben Ferguson—field questions about medical school and life outside of school. Sylvia Robertson also offers some brief words about financial aid.
