Student Life Blogs

Greetings Everyone, Summer session is in full effect and I am officially a 3 rd year student. No more summers off, so I took full advantage of the one week break after spring semester came to an end. My family and I packed up our bags, hit the road, and went to the great land of DISNEY WORLD!! My son had an absolute blast as we visited the Magic Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, and Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Studios was a must because my son is absolutely fascinated with Toy Story and even more... Read More

After four quick years at Ursinus College, I officially earned my Bachelor of Science degree! It’s hard to believe that exactly one year ago today I was sitting for my OAT and starting the application process.

I'm looking forward to seeing a wide variety of patients and learning a lot more clinic... Read More

Well its been a while since I have been  on the blog but I wanted to fill you in with what has been happening recently. I have just finished my last externship in St. George, UT and I loved it. I learned so much from the doctors and staff there. I was treated like a doctor at this rotation. The staff would schedule patients for me and I had my own exam room and patient schedule.  I was very fortunate that this is an SCO extern site. Both doctors here are SCO alumni and are wonderful. They have... Read More
