Why did you choose to attend the B.A./M.D. program at UMKC?
At the end of my junior year in high school, I read a statistic from the World Health Organization that 54.5 million people die globally every year—that’s 104 people every minute. I knew that my time could not be wasted; people’s lives now depended on it. As a result, my sole interest was in the six-year program when I first visited UMKC. After my visit, however, I no longer wanted to be a student at UMKC simply because of the medical program; I wanted to be a student at UMKC because every human interaction I had while on campus brought me face-to-face with the underlying philosophy of this university: true student success. UMKC staff and faculty truly want their students to be successful, not only as students, but also as people—people who are able and equipped to do and be their best. When I left campus after my visit, UMKC was more of a home than an institution.
What have you enjoyed most about your experience at UMKC?
This is a difficult question to answer, because it’s hard to know exactly where to even begin: the basketball games, the random events (like Meet the Greeks and Union Fest), intramurals, the Docent Program, random Kansas City adventures…the list goes on and on. UMKC and the B.A./M.D. program have provided me with so many opportunities to just experience life—to fail, grow, succeed, cry, laugh, explore; I just get lost in the beauty of it all. I guess it all boils down to the people. Everything I’ve experienced or have been a part of has been all the sweeter because of the people I get to share each moment with. So rarely are such caring, funny, mischievous, bold, daring, intelligent, and loving people ever found, and so enthralling and enriching it is to be around them.
