Why did you choose to attend the B.A./M.D. program at UMKC?
One of the reasons I chose to attend the BA/MD program at UMKC is because of the opportunities it provided for clinical exposure and patient interaction beginning the first year. This was something that was important to me because I knew that I wanted to get involved with patient interaction right away, and UMKC really emphasized the importance of this. I was also drawn to the fact that this program was designed to support camaraderie and a sense of “togetherness” among classmates. UMKC encourages an environment based on students helping one another and working together to succeed in medical school.
What have you enjoyed most about your experience at UMKC?
My most enjoyable experience at UMKC has been the time I have spent with patients and doctors in the hospital and clinical setting. Immediately out of high school, we were already going into patient rooms and practicing our interviewing skills. Looking back at the first few interviews I did as a first year, I realize just how much I have grown and learned which is extremely rewarding. Outside of medicine, UMKC has offered so much exposure to other cultures which is something that has helped me to be a better medical student as well as a better person overall. The great diversity of this program has allowed me to become friends with people from so many different backgrounds and has given me a new appreciation for their cultures.
