Experiences
Medical school is a different beast. Not just in terms of the amount of information you have to learn, but in the way it forces you to confront yourself at your worst and at your best. Then it asks you to become a better version of your best self. Part of that is doing things that are sometimes out of your comfort zone. For me, that has been always being part of the school. As you can see below, I've been trying to be more involved and I'm glad I have done so. Below you can browse through each of the new memories I've made since I've started school. From orientation day to the Fall Festival and more!
