Description
The path to Medicine is a long journey with many twist and turns. It is a route that would test you physically, mentally, and socially, but knowing how to balance your life will help you reach your goals. I was a former student of Nova Southeastern University already knowing what I needed to do to reach my goals. I was studying in the field of Biology to prepare myself to apply to Medical School. In addition, I attended various organizations like the Pre-Medical Society, while also volunteering at an Emergency Department. I then took the MCAT and applied to various hospitals, both MD and DO, in the United States and outside the United States. I was then accepted to American University of the Caribbean where my journey continued. In that time in American University of the Caribbean, I spent my first 2 years at St. Maarten of the Netherland Antilles. I continued being active in various organizations. I then took the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), which enabled me to continue to my 3rd Year rotations at England and to my 4th year rotations in the United States. During my 4th year rotation I completed my USMLE 2 CK & CS and graduated. I then did several externship rotations and passed the USMLE 3. As of now I’m a research coordinator at the Miami VA Healthcare System, and I’m applying to residency programs to be able to complete the last step to earn my state licensure to practice medicine.
