“Why Miami?”

“While I was drawn to Miami University’s Physician Associate Studies program by the amazing faculty and staff, I was most influenced by the program’s mission to serve diverse and underserved populations. I aspire to provide compassionate, patient-centered care to all individuals, and I believe Miami’s emphasis on rural Ohio will prepare me to address healthcare disparities where the need is greatest. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an outstanding program and community.”
