“Why Miami?”

“I chose Miami University for my graduate medical education because of the exceptional curriculum I reviewed and the impression I received prior to enrolling. Throughout my didactic year, the faculty and staff have provided unwavering support, and the campus resources have created an environment where I can grow both as a student and as a future clinician. The program’s commitment to student success, especially in preparing us for careers in rural medicine, deeply resonates with me. As someone from a rural town, I plan to return to home and serve my rural community. Miami University is equipping me with the skills I need to become compassionate well-rounded provider.”
