“I joined Xelay after graduating college with medical school as an option, but I didn’t want to commit to the long and challenging process of medical school without knowing all the opportunities in medicine and whether or not I had the skills to succeed. My time at Xelay has answered both of those questions. Working at Xelay has taught me the ins and outs of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and healthcare companies—expanding my views on what I can do with an MD. I have engaged on projects with MDs at senior level positions in healthcare companies and also practicing physicians who are leaders in their fields of medicine. Xelay has taught me strategy and management consulting skills that are paramount to succeeding in not only medical school, but my entire career. With those skills, I have been able to create tremendous impact early in my career and can take those skills with me throughout my medical training. The training I received on professional development and interpersonal interactions is integral in any professional setting, especially a demanding career in medicine. Xelay provides leadership training, and the environment to practice those skills. Because of my work on many team-based projects, my ability to communicate, organize, and lead has grown immensely. Xelay has without a doubt provided me with a huge advantage as I pursue my career in medicine.” – Elton Zhou
