How has the SWAG视频mission inspired you as a medical student?聽聽 聽
The SWAG视频mission has inspired me as a medical student by reminding me what it really means to be globally-minded and community-focused here in our own backyard. VCOM's mission goes far past words on paper, this school really does work to serve areas that are medically underserved and works to prepare their student to be doctors that will be able to do the same.
Why did you choose VCOM?聽聽 聽
I chose SWAG视频because before I was even accepted I felt genuinely welcomed by the school and all of the staff. SWAG视频made a very noticeable effort to reach out to and stay in contact with their applicant and prospective students which was something I really admired.
What do you enjoy most about living in the area around your campus?聽聽 聽
One of the most notable things about Monroe, and one of the first things I noticed when I moved here, is how kind everybody is! Everyone you meet has a friendly smile and is more than willing to lend a hand in any way they can. (The bayou is a bonus- it was my first time seeing a real-life alligator!)
Are you interested in a particular practice or specialty once you graduate? What has inspired your interest in this specialty?聽聽 聽
I've always been interested in obstetrics and gynecology, and in being a part of ACOOG (American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists) at the Louisiana campus, I have been able to learn so much from our faculty at SWAG视频as well as from practitioners in the community. I've seen the vast disparities in women's health highlighted here in our own community and it has inspired my interest in this specialty even further. Big changes start small and it has been so amazing seeing little changes being made in our own backyard that will lead to great advancements.
