The Magical World of...

Greetings Everyone, Summer session is in full effect and I am officially a 3rd 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 so ... Read More

Walking in Memphis...soon!

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 have to give my biggest thanks to Sunnie Ewing and Mike Robertson for answering all of my questions through out the entire application and interview process. This year has gone by so quickly. My senior year has comprised everything from OATs and applications to rugby and a torn ACL to... Read More

I've had my pre-clinic checkout, finals, a trip to Mexico and my first patient encounter in The Eye Center since my last update. I'm officially a third year student now, so I have started seeing patients in The Eye Center . Yes, my exam takes way too long, but I don't panic too much. I'm looking forward to seeing a wide variety of patients and learning a lot more clinic ... Read More

Graduation!

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 hav... Read More
