NSU Experience

Transitioning from living in Michigan to moving to Florida to attend NSU, I honestly didn't know what to expect. All I knew was that I had this one important goal of helping people as a physician. Within no time, I knew that attending NSU would provide me with all the resources and skills I would need to become the best possible student and future physician. More importantly, I was able to surround myself with mentors such as Dr. Schmitt, Dr. Smith, Dr. Doan, and so many other professors who always encouraged us to immerse ourselves in all the wonderful opportunities that our school and the student body was able to provide us with (e.g. research opportunities, volunteering, shadowing opportunities, and even on-campus jobs). Today I am able to confidently say that without NSU, I don't think I would've been able to become half the person I am today and gotten into the medical school of my dreams. I'm so thankful for all the lessons, the experiences, and the wonderful people I was able to meet at NSU. These are memories I will cherish forever as I embark on my journey of helping those in need.
