My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program

I love PSIO at the U of A because of all of the professors. The professors I have had the pleasure of meeting have been incredible in being accessible, providing guidance, and fostering student growth outside the classroom in office hours or as a club advisor. Additionally, the faculty are a great opportunity for networking with research groups to be able to find what your passion in science is.

Academic & Career Goals

Apply to a Physician Assistant program and continue my current work as a Medical Assistant until then.
