Life in Our Programs
I am not just training to treat diseases; I am training to care for communities. That purpose is what makes this program meaningful to me.
I'm pursuing hematology/oncology, and the program made it possible for me to rotate in Charleston and learn from national leaders. That experience reminded me how far support can take you.
