My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program
Studying Physiology at the University of Arizona has been a special experience. We have a community of students who are working hard towards ambitious goals similar to your own. There are professors who are rooting for you and excited to share their own stories to inspire and uplift you on your journey. Classes are taught passionately, made to fill you with the knowledge and curiosity you need to be successful. There are sufficient challenges to test you and enough support to remind you why you started and help you come back from struggles stronger. Being a Physiology student at UofA is marked by grit and resilience. The passion and drive in the hearts of the students is evident in every lecture hall, late night study session and early morning exam. It’s amazing to be surrounded by people who don’t do what they do because it’s easy, they do it because it is hard but it is so worth it.
Academic & Career Goals
I plan to pursue a Master's in Public Health with an emphasis on global health. I'm particularly interested in Medical Journalism and eager to explore the opportunities in that field. I envision myself attending Physician Assistant school while also engaging in freelance medical writing.
