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: Shadowing

Event Year: 2023

Lauren

Thank you so much, Dr. Edelman, for allowing me to shadow you and learn more about your specialty! I had a great time and gained so much knowledge from being able to sit in the OR and observe a procedure. I appreciated how you consistently narrated what was going on and what you were going to do next, so I could follow along and understand the steps of the procedure better. I also appreciated how passionate you were about your field, and how much you wanted to share everything you knew with me. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to get a glimpse of your day-to-day life and ask questions. You are a phenomenal mentor, and I look forward to continue learning more from you in the future!
