Testimonials

My name is Lily Yusufi and I will be joining the 2016 PGY1 class at Baptist Health and Medicine, Kentucky in their Family Medicine Residency Program. This opportunity would not have been possible without Avalon University.

Attending Avalon University SOM was a major and right decision we made. The smaller class size provided closer one-on-one contact with the professors, which certainly was helpful in education and teaching.
