My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program
My experience in the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program has enlarged my deep interest in medicine. My journey so far has only affirmed my desire to pursue a career in this field. All of the professors I have had the privilege of learning from have been nothing but supportive, accessory, and engaging. They, along with all of the PSIO TAs and preceptors, have truly made all of my PSIO classes all the more fun and fascinating. They have all contributed to my growth as a student and future health professional. This program has made opened up many accessible opportunities for me, including clubs, volunteering, and research. My experience in this program has been absolutely wonderful, and I encourage new students to follow in the same path as well!
