My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program
Studying physiology at the University of Arizona for the past few years has been an incredible experience. The program encapsulates the spirit of encouragement and support from instructors, fellow students, and other faculty members. I've loved taking classes from enthusiastic instructors who have helped me deepen my comprehension and feel better equipped to progress through the major. Every student has different obstacles to overcome, but I think it's critical to realize that you have an enormous support system and that the ultimate result always makes the difficulties worthwhile. Despite all the challenges, I believe that this program has helped me become more passionate and driven to reach my goals. Overall, it has been the most rewarding experience by far. I will always be appreciative of the Physiology and Medical Sciences program and the experience(s) I have had thus far.
Academic & Career Goals
After completing my undergraduate studies, I want to go to medical school. I intend to investigate the possibilities in this area, but I have a strong sense that orthopedic surgery will be my area of passion.
