My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program

My experience in the Physiology and Medical Sciences program at the University of Arizona has been one of the most rewarding parts of my college journey.

Through opportunities like research and clinical experiences, I've been able to explore my interests and figure out what I'm truly passionate about. I'm incredibly grateful for everything this program has to offer and for the community that's made it all so meaningful.
