Why did you choose to attend the B.A./M.D. program at UMKC?
For me, UMKC distinguished itself from other programs because of its unique emphasis on early clinical training, which offers me the opportunity to immerse myself in the hospital setting—engaging and interacting with patients and different physicians from year one. Additionally, the shorter duration (6 years) was an attractive proposition as it allows me the benefit of starting and establishing a career earlier in my life. UMKC has graduated so many successful and accomplished physicians, and it is a gratifying privilege to even be given the opportunity to stand on the shoulders of those who have come before me. I aspire to be a part of the future of medicine, and I truly believe that UMKC School of Medicine provides me with the platform to do so.
What have you enjoyed most about your experience at UMKC?
Thus far, the community of diverse individuals at UMKC has easily created a lasting impact on my life. Seeing acquaintances quickly turn into lifelong friends and colleagues, who encourage me to stay driven and focused, has humbly shaped the way I view the world. At the core, we all share the same passion and desire to help and heal people and, through that, we inspire each other and create this warm, welcoming environment to learn, grow, and strengthen one another.
