“Why Miami?”

“I applied to Miami University as the programs mission and vision resonated so well with my own career ambitions. It is important to me that I serve all my patients and communities with exceptional care. I wish to be a clinician that is grounded in evidence-based medicine, engaging in research, and increasing access to integrative care that will serve to accommodate their holistic needs. Furthermore, I appreciate Miami University's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as being integral to their students academic and clinical development toward that aim. It was after touring the campus, speaking with the passionate faculty, and exploring the innovative spaces at the new Clinical Health and Science and Wellness building, that I felt truly connected! I knew that Miami University was the right program for me to pursue my goal of becoming a clinician!”
