My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program

One of the biggest aspects I have loved about being a part of the PSIO department here at U of A has been the community and family I have built within the program. Coming in as a Business major my first semester freshman year, I did not have much clarity of where I wanted to go in life and what career field I felt passionate about. After switching to the PSIO major, I immediately fell in love with all this program offered me. Through PSIO, I have been connected with mentors, faculty, and countless opportunities that have helped me figure out where my passions truly lie and inspired me to pursue my dreams.
