“Why Miami?”

“Having attended Miami for my undergraduate degree, it was an easy decision to continue to entrust my alma mater with my graduate studies. I was on campus, during this time when I had the privilege of observing the Clinical Health Science and Wellness Center and Physician Associate Studies Program being developed. I could not help by love the idea of having the opportunity to continue to pursue my graduate medical education at an institution that felt so much like home. As I continued to look into the program, I discovered that the faculty do much to embody the type of clinician that I aspire to be for my future patients and their families. I feel comfortable that I made the right decision and will continue to learn the valuable skills needed to provide exceptional care, through patient centered, multi-disciplinary teams, to all communities."
