“Why Miami?”

“The program's mission, focus, and values, in addition to Miami University’s endless resources, ensure not only student success in the classroom but also into the future of their clinical practice. I chose Miami because of their focus on healthcare accessibility within underrepresented communities, delivering interdisciplinary care, and the emphasis on clinical research, improving best practice models through evidence-based medicine. The faculty are all so supportive and will do everything in their power to help us succeed.”
