My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program
Throughout my journey in the Physiology and Medical Sciences program, I have been fortunate to grow both academically and personally as I work toward my dream of becoming a Physician. In the classroom, I developed a deep understanding of the intricate systems that sustain human health, strengthening both my scientific foundation and critical thinking abilities. Beyond academics, hands-on experiences such as physician shadowing, research involvement, and engagement with peers and mentors in the field have allowed me to explore my interests and further develop as an aspiring medical professional.
Most significantly, I have found a strong sense of community within the program, connecting with classmates who share my passion for science and medicine and forming lasting relationships that have shaped my academic and professional goals. The Physiology and Medical Sciences program has not only equipped me with the knowledge and skills to succeed but has also prepared me to take the next steps toward becoming a Physician committed to making a meaningful impact in the lives of the patients I will serve.
