Liam and his best buddy were in high school when they started up a plan and thought ahead about becoming doctors in the future. There were like birds of a feather flocking together. They had the same way of thinking. They are always on the same wavelength when it comes to planning for the future. Even though they knew that enrolling in medical school was tough, they were in it for the long haul. They were decisive because they were dedicated enough to serve their community and people in need in the medical field.

They believed that there was another way to be debt-free and still be able to be a medical practitioner. Attending a federally funded medical school was one of the solutions.

They turned this situation into something that benefited them, and it definitely worked out.
