Why UNE

我知道我想上医学院, so that was part of the reason why I [came] to UNE [for undergrad]. I wanted to have better resources to get to that point.

I picked the 医学生物学专业 因为它的设置方式. It includes all of the premed classes that you need to apply to any medical school, but it also has other topics in it that are super relevant. 我最喜欢的课是解剖学和生理学, and that has pretty much been my entire first-year of medical school. It was really nice to go from taking that Anatomy class and getting excited about it then to go on to finishing my first year of medical school. 我真的很高兴我准备得很充分.

实践学习

One of the most influential parts of my education was on the rural health immersion trip that I did with the Care for the Underserved Pathways (CUP) Scholars Program. Having the hands-on experience of working with all of these different people from different professions was very interprofessional, and that's not something I realized was an opportunity until I got to my first week of COM.

Then I got an email saying that UNE was bringing a few students from CUP to Greece, 所以我就报名去了. That was one of the best hands-on experiences I've had. We brought aid over and worked with the refugee, homeless, and asylum-seeking population there who otherwise had no aid. 他们一无所有. We distributed diapers, and we did a lot of food distribution.

It’s something that I don't think I would've gotten elsewhere. I'm not sure of what other medical schools have as far as programs like this. While in Greece, I got to do a medical component where we set up a health hygiene clinic. We were able to teach pertinent skills like handwashing, female hygiene, and oral hygiene. It was a super interesting hands-on experience, and it was also very interprofessional. I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to go.

欢迎社区

(全球网络赌博平台社区)真的很包容. We have an awesome program where we're not ranked, so we're not competitive. We’re all trying to make sure that we are all succeeding. 你的邻居, 你的同学, whoever you’re next to — their wellness and their overall mental health is always getting checked on. 我们要确保大家都得到支持.

I remember during the first week at orientation, all the orientation leaders who were part of the second-year class were like, “你将成为我的家人.” It’s true. If someone's struggling, someone else in our program is reaching out to them. 教师们也跟上了我们的步伐. We have a lot of phenomenal faculty members who are huge advocates for us as students and who want to check in on us.
