Student & Alumni Testimonials
"Engaging in the One-on-One Virtual Mentoring program has definitely been worthwhile. I have had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Spence, who was very willing to share his breadth of experience in the clinical and business sides of medicine. As an undecided rising M3, he provided me with perspectives on the different paths I could follow. I am very excited about catching up/receiving words of advice every couple of months with Dr. Spence!"
"Office of Alumni Affairs, thank you for introducing me to Dr. Iyantta Howell through the Virtual Mentorship Program! Dr. Howell, thank you for sharing the lessons and experiences you have gained throughout your academic career at the School of Medicine! I am so grateful to have established a working relationship with an alumna and healthcare provider in the area. I look forward to starting medical school this summer and learning more about your work!"
"Dr. Pummill was a delight to speak with, and a physician to really look up to. I appreciated her candor and openness about life as a plastic surgeon, and she was so encouraging about considering it as a real option for myself. I was not sure about whether it was something I would be interested in-- I wanted to hear about what it was like since I have such little firsthand experience or knowledge of the field. I sincerely appreciated her encouragement and her time, and I am excited to shadow her when we are all able to see each other in person."
"I had a great experience participating in the One-on-One Virtual Mentoring program with Dr. Regina Wang. She gave me a lot of insight into the field of Family Medicine, and was very helpful answering all of my questions about medical school and residency. Thank you to Dr. Wang for your time and advice, I truly appreciate it!"
"I set up a meeting with Dr. Piero Simone, and went in with nerves high and a little off-track with where I was heading career-wise. He pointed me in the right direction and with great confidence. I hope more people utilize the physician mentoring program, they are a great source of knowledge about the current field and also know the in and outs on how to succeed! Thank you."
"I would like to personally thank Dr. Mary Jacob for hosting an emergency medicine webinar. It was incredibly helpful in understanding the day to day expectations, struggles, and duties of an EM doctor. I appreciated how informal and honest she was, and I thoroughly enjoyed the webinar. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to give back to us!"
