Hi! I'm Madeline Gauthier, PhD, MD Candidate.
- She meets students where they are, treating them with empathy and creating a supportive learning environment. She works to build their confidence, celebrate progress, and offer clear, actionable guidance to help them move forward.
- She challenges students by setting high yet realistic expectations and presenting questions that stretch their thinking while building on what they already know. Mistakes are framed as valuable learning opportunities, paired with context and practical feedback so students feel prepared for the next challenge.
- She begins by acknowledging students’ feelings, then helps them reframe the situation. By breaking challenges into manageable steps and highlighting progress, she ensures they leave each session feeling capable rather than discouraged.
“I love breaking down complex physiology and pathophysiology into clear, approachable concepts—and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing that moment when it all clicks for a student. Having been through the challenges of this path myself, I genuinely enjoy being part of that journey and am excited to support students as they work toward their goals.”
