Warrior Ambassador

“I chose WSUSOM because of the ability to bridge academics and clinical experiences early on. Within the first week of medical school, we were practicing our clinical skills on standardized patients. WSUSOM is also surrounded by so many amazing hospitals and the physicians are so welcoming to shadowing and networking. The city of Detroit has many free clinics as well where students can practice their clinical skills and learn from different clinical cases! I love being able to integrate what I'm learning in class and apply it to real-life cases, even within my preclinical years. ”
