“Since earning my first bachelor’s degree I’ve mostly been in lab settings but found myself interested in having more patient contact. My favorite Emory classes are those that involve a clinical aspect. I enjoy the hands-on experiences most.
“One of the most amazing parts about Emory is that we have such diverse students. Our backgrounds are so different, and everyone brings something unique to the table. This aspect of our particular program makes for an especially enriching experience.”
