Notes of Appreciation

Every contribution alumni make, whether providing a meal or housing for a medical student, offering career advice or a shadowing opportunity, hosting an event, or donating to the Medical Alumni Annual Fund, has a lasting impact on the School of Medicine community.  Below are expressions of appreciation from medical students for support they have received from alumni.

Event: Dinner with a Doc

Event Year: 2022

Kia

I want to sincerely thank Dr. Melissa Zimmerman. Our conversation covered so many aspects of a physicians life: balancing the different stages along the journey, including having a family and being actively involved with them. I got the opportunity to really learn about some of the inner workings of a physician who practices Family Medicine such as what it is like now with electronic medical records and what some of the experiences are doing telemedicine vs in person office visits. I appreciated learning about the vast amount of opportunities in Family Medicine. I am so grateful for the time that she spent and opportunity to participant in the dinner-with a doc program (we met for lunch). The conversation was truly helpful!

Sincerely, Kia Sweeney
