Pre-Health spotlights

"Research played a large role in my undergraduate experience. I worked with Brian Giesbrecht, Brandon Garcia, and other faculty and team members in biochemistry for three years. Over the course of those years, they taught me how to truly think like a researcher. Research is not only the beginning of the medical process, but it is also the future-- in order to push forward for better treatments, we have to conduct a lot of research. My time as an undergraduate researcher has given me a head-start into that world of medical research."

"Getting into medical school took a lot more than just going to class. My pre-med advisor was my guide in the class selection and application process for medical school. She helped me first to understand what medical school was like, and then she helped me think through and find avenues of experiences to prepare me and make me a great candidate. I even got to do practice interviews for medical school, which was helpful. I’m very grateful for my advisor, who really helped me every step of the way to medical school."
