Dr. Brottman is an amazing public speaker. As his former student, I can confidently say there was not a single dull moment when he talks. Be it a classroom or at an event, Dr. is able to keep the attention on him as he speaks. His witty comments lighten the atmosphere, interacts with the audience so they the feel more involved. But most of all, you can see the passion in his speech. He is not here to sell anything. He’s here to inform and educate those that have the desire to learn. His program gets to the core of the matter regarding medical school. The goal is not just getting into Med school and become a doctor. His goal is to helps create amazing physicians who will thrive to be the very best that they could be. Im really glad that I was able to meet Dr. Brottman. Had I met him sooner, say in my high school years, I would have been able to accomplish much greater things. But it’s better late then never.

He created a district wide Healthcare Career Fair that was an extremely successful event. As a direct result, we were able to place additional students in a wide variety of healthcare businesses for internships and apprenticeships.”

“Dr. Brottman is a highly relatable person who has the ability to garner both the respect and the interest of teenagers.
One of the first things I noticed about him is that he is able to motivate and engage students of all backgrounds and aptitudes. He is not a person who speaks at students; he is a person who listens, questions and advises in a personal way.”
