Why did you choose Feinberg?
I chose Feinberg because of the people. When I was here during Second Look, I liked the amount of diversity and charisma from the students.
All my classmates are gifted and bright individuals. They are so curious and always inquiring about things. It's that drive that makes you the best you can be. The faculty members here are really open to conversations and are very approachable.
What is your favorite part of the curriculum?
The clinical aspect of it. The fact that you get exposure to patients within the first week of being here, that meant a lot to me because I came into medicine to work with patients and help them feel better about their situation and treat them.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Adjusting to a new study method. I used to be a procrastinator. So I've adjusted my learning style and have several different strategies to work with the medical school curriculum since it is so fast paced and intense.
It also was very good to know that the
Office of Diversity offers support if I need it. They are open to listening to any concerns you have and they give the opportunity to interact with other students from diverse backgrounds. I can learn how other students cope with the stresses of medical school and how they transitioned from an undergraduate to graduate setting.
