What is GABA
GABA is a chemical in the brain that helps reduce anxiety and increase learning. We hope to live up to that name through our supportive community centered on empowered learning. This will help more diverse and compassionate pre-health students make it into medical programs and combat the global shortage of 2.4 million health professionals.

How it works
Our founders are both medical students that struggled to find the right study tools and right connection to guide them to success. Scrolling hours of perfect instagram photos from other medical students only made the experience more lonely. We wanted to create a community that was both supportive and honest about what it really takes to become a health professional. We wanted access to tutors and mentors that wouldn't cost a car payment for one session. We created GABA.
