Why we built SHOS Med

We took the path from Charles University to US residency ourselves, and we started by helping friends and classmates do the same. What began as one-on-one guidance grew quickly through word of mouth. SHOS Med was built to support students at every stage of that journey: from getting into medical school, to succeeding during their studies, to navigating the path to US residency. Clear, structured, and affordable.
