My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program

I have loved being a part of the Physiology and Medical Sciences program here at the University of Arizona because I am able to surround myself with like minded students and create relationships with the wonderful professors and peers in this major. My journey thus far through the PSIO program has allowed me to explore my interests in the human body and how it functions, while also letting me look within and discover my passions! Being here has helped me confirm my choice that I am working towards the right career path for me with a passion in physiology and healthcare.

Academic & Career Goals

After completing my undergraduate studies, I want to attend medical school with the goal of becoming a Doctor of Ophthalmology or Emergency Medicine.
