From two med school rejections to Duke University’s Physician Assistant Program, Hunter Aliotti’s journey is a powerful reminder that the right path is not always the one you start on.

After struggling with the MCAT and facing setbacks, Hunter worked with UC Davis Health Professions Post-Bac Program advisor Bryelle McRay, M.Ed. to reconsider what providing accessible healthcare could look like. The answer? He didn't need to be an MD to make the impact he wanted.

With 11,000+ hours of patient care experience, an EMT license, and a renewed sense of purpose, Hunter found his calling as a future PA, a path that offers the flexibility to serve underserved communities across multiple specialties.

"What's most important to me is being able to provide healthcare. Bryelle helped me realize there are many ways to do that."

Today, Hunter is heading to Duke. And he got the acceptance news while on shift in the ER, the place where his passion for equitable care was born.
