Well, our year in the pharm program has come to an end. This
week, we finished our last exam, and today’s seminar marked the final event of
the semester. Looking back, it’s been an incredibly productive and rewarding
year. Our class dedicated countless hours to study, community service, research,
and/or clinical work, and we have all come out better from the experience.
Some of our class has already packed up and made their trip
back home and many others will be doing the same over the next few weeks. Some
of though, like myself, will be staying in New Orleans to either work in
research, public service organizations, health clinics, etc. But, almost all of
us are preparing our applications for the new AMCAS cycle, which officially
opens next month. In the midst of that, I plan to continue my work in research
and maintain many of the public service commitments I established since
relocating to New Orleans. This month, I have continued my volunteer work in
the Ochsner emergency room, and I can already notice my proficiency for the
work there increasing (a background in pharmacology is very useful).
That said, best of luck to next year’s pharm class. Feel
free to contact me with any questions.
