My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program
I switched into the Physiology and Medical Sciences major halfway through my freshman year and immediately fell in love with it. There are so many opportunities when it comes to finding/creating a community as the program provides a variety of involvement opportunities with faculty, staff, and fellow classmates. Being a Physiology and Medical Sciences student has made me even more excited to get started in a career in healthcare and has helped prepare so much for my next steps.
Academic & Career Goals
I want to pursue an MD after I graduate with the hopes of becoming an Emergency Medicine Physician.
