Pass Program The PASS Program was started almost twenty years ago here in Champaign, Illinois. The objective was to establish a place where any medical student could come to in order to truly understand medical information, beginning with the basic medical sciences. We wanted an environment in which a student felt no shame, no loss of pride, and no humiliation for the academic difficulties that he or she had suffered. I wanted to provide students with the academic support that they needed. And, in doing so, we wanted to help them find the academic growth, spiritual growth, and personal growth that they would need in order to develop into outstanding physicians of the future. We wanted them to look forward to, rather than to fear, the future.
