My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program

What makes me enjoy being a Physiology and Medical Sciences student here at the University of Arizona is not just the compassionate professors that teach the classes, but my peers that encourage me to do my absolute best. Having peers that share similar interests as me makes it easy to want to work hard in not just my physiology classes but my other classes as well because I know I am not alone, and we're all in it together. The community that resides in the physiology program is such a supportive and dynamic group, that it makes learning about the human body even more fun!
