I chose the MSMS program because I am an inspiring physician, and this program focuses on the rigor of what it would be like for the first year of medical school. As a first-generation student, I wanted to be more competitive when applying to medical school, and this program helped me achieve that. My favorite course in the program was the Neuroscience course; Dr. Green and Dr. Nygard were the best instructors. They made this challenging course easier to comprehend. I liked that they focused on the clinical manifestations because I am interested in that area as an inspiring physician. As a CNA and a Nurse Assistant, I could see how a neurologist would perform these neurological exams on patients, so it was extraordinary for me to learn about it and conduct it.

The most memorable aspect of the MSMS program was the connections and relationships I created with the faculty and students. I was able to attend office hours and got to learn more about my professor’s experience in healthcare, get help on class material, and advice to help me on my path to becoming a Physician Assistant. I also got to know my cohort personally through zoom meetings and study groups, conquering the material together. I am grateful for the support I have received through this program, which is something that I cherish.
