Clinical Year As a Whole

Allied Health Sciences
What has been your favorite assignment so far?
Probably my capstone research project aimed at raising awareness of Postpartum Depression and resources available to Mothers in Genesee County and surrounding communities! It was such a rewarding experience to have a tangible impact on the Flint community.
What do you prefer studying within your program?
I love working with the pediatric population!
What’s been your overall favorite experience in your program?
I would say serving as the public relations chair for my cohort has been fun. I think my overall favorite experience would be clinical year and attending the MAPA fall conference last year!

I LOVE the study rooms in Murchie 🙂
Any advice for students considering grad school?
Do it. You can and will surpass your own expectations. Before starting grad school make sure you have a solid support system, including mental health resources. It is so easy to become overwhelmed and neglect your mental/physical health as a result. The thing that got me through grad school was my family and friends – without them, I would not be where I am today!
