“Why Miami?”

“During my interview, I could feel the demonstration of both passion and knowledge from faculty concerning health education. It was clear that they are deeply committed to cultivating an environment that shares my values of compassion, learning, and service. Miami University has exceeded those expectations while providing an environment for me to grow academically as I prepare for my future clinical career. The program strives to address healthcare disparities that align with my passion to serve diverse populations. The focus on providing care to those who need it most affirmed that Miami is the place for me and I believe they will prepare me for a successful career in healthcare”.
