What do you like about HMSS?

I love HMSS because of the sense of community that it fosters between people of diverse backgrounds and sharing a goal with these other like-minded students. We all push each other to become better and provide a strong support system, as well as provide mentorship within different grade levels. It feels like family with people who have the same goal of helping others.

Why do you want to go into medicine?

My dream is to become a physician because medicine is a great way to help others while making an impact in the lives of the people and communities we will serve through the application of science.
