“Through many shifts and many different departments through the Health Scholars program I grew more and more comfortable in interacting with patients and caring for them. I recently began working as an Emergency Department Technician.”

“As a result of participating in the Health Scholars Program, I have been able to interact with various members of the healthcare team, including physicians. These interactions have allowed me to make connections and given me opportunities to shadow physicians as I explore and narrow down my specialty interests.”

“I found that I learned just as much from the patients as I did from the staff, the patients bring a perspective of how they live with their medical conditions. This information will give me a better understanding of how to provide care for my patients in the future”
