I just completed my first semester of Year 3 and had another great semester. Exciting news: I found out that the research I am involved with at WashU Medical at the Warner Lab will be published in the National Institutes of Health this Spring. Once it is published, I will add a link to the publication so it can be viewed! Regarding coursework, I most liked BioChemistry this past semester, as it was similar to my favorite classes, Orgo I and II. After meeting with my advisor at WashU, I have completed all my Biology major requirements, and I can explore other classes I find interesting and outside my major. I have also continued my work at Siteman Cancer Center and am President of the UNICEF chapter at WashU. I had zero free time all semester, but I somehow managed to find a way to fit everything in! This upcoming Summer has begun to take shape, as I will work full-time again as a clinical ophthalmic assistant at Mattax, Neu, Prater Eye Surgery Center. This will give me valuable clinical experience and allow me to further develop my skills working with patients, physicians, and office staff. I am very grateful for the opportunity! Additionally, any free time I have will be spent studying for the MCAT. I have another busy semester upcoming at WashU, and I will make another post regarding my coursework and experiences!
