Why did you choose to attend the UMKC School of Medicine?
The UMKC PA program has many features which both initially attracted me to apply here and to ultimately choose it as my first choice school. When I compared it to other schools, I was impressed with both the organization of program and that fact that a majority of the lecturers also teach in the medical school or are practicing providers in their respective fields. I also admired that the faculty are committed to providing students with first-hand clinical experiences throughout their diadatic year. These begin within the first semester of the program and include experiences in both the hospital setting as well as community outreach through the Sojourner Health Clinic.
What have you enjoyed most about your experience?
Ironically, what I’ve enjoyed most about my experience so far is the same thing that I was most anxious about when initially applying: the small class size. For me, starting at UMKC meant moving from a small town to much larger metropolitan area where I didn’t know anyone or how to get around. However, what I realize now is that the program takes special care when selecting applicants to ensure that the class will be both diverse and cohesive. Each of my classmates has lived their own journey and possesses skills leading them to this career. We utilize our different backgrounds to help one another succeed and understand various concepts. The people in your class are not only classmates, they become your friends, your family, and your support system almost instantly. Additionally, the school’s smaller class size means more individualized attention from the faculty. They know not only know your name but have a genuine interest in you as a person and are dedicated to ensuring that you have everything you need to become an educated, competent PA.
