Why did you choose UMKC School of Medicine?
I choose UMKC School of Medicine due to its emphasis on early patient interaction and enhanced focus on team-based learning. The early patient interaction began the first week of medical school, and there hasn’t been a week since when I have not seen at least one patient in some capacity! The docent system is incredible and instantly gives you a group of a dozen students spanning through each year of the program. Your docent unit very quickly becomes your go-to source for advice and is a steadfast support system during your medical school years.
What have you enjoyed most?
My weekly time in the clinic has been one of the most enjoyable aspects of my medical school experience at the UMKC School of Medicine. It is an experience that is so unique to UMKC, and you start seeing patients in clinic within 8 months of starting your medical school classes. I can honestly say that I learn more during my time in clinic than if I were to spend that time reading or listening to a lecture alone. The docent experience offers an opportunity to hone my diagnostic skills, EMR skills, and patient interaction skills over the course of 4 years. I know that my time in clinic has already made me more successful in other aspects of medical school as well.
Student organizations involved with/honors and awards:
I am involved in several interest groups. I am the President of the Medical Humanities interest group and in the process of founding another interest group. I am also involved in research and have several active studies going on currently. I am on the board for the Children’s Miracle Network, KC Dance Marathon and also am active in a multitude of volunteer opportunities UMKC School of Medicine provides for its students.
