So in this video, I go into detail about why I transitioned from the traditional accelerated Master of Science in Medical Sciences (MSP3) Program. Now the program is wonderul, and I enjoyed my time there, and honestly, if I hadn't gone to this program I wouldn't have known three things:
1) Why Medicine
2) What type of communites, and why is community so important to me?
3) Who am I, and what do I want out of my life especially outside of medicine?
When did you discoer your purpose and has it changed since the new semester?
I discovered mine in undergrad
I'm figuring mine out in graduate school
Same Purpose. Same Me.
While in this program, I realized that the tradtional three semester, academic rigour and solely focusing ont he clinical aspect was great but I couldn't help the feeling that there was more for me. As the semester went on, there were parts of the program that I felt would've greatly benefited the students from a social, personal, and professional standpoint if offered alonside the program's cirriculum. It was in this program that I realized that, community, people, principles in medicine and in mental heatlth were more important to me.
I realized that I wanted more than to just be a doctor, but a well-versed, efficent and realable physican that is willing to do the hard part f being iwth patinets, popualations, and having conversations that bring equity adn equality in healthcare, education and our envirnoment.
Your girl was also, finding this grey area in my studies and looking back, I would recommned that if you're looking to start an SMP (Specail Masters Program) please go for the two year program. That way you have time to get shadowing experinc, clinical, medical volunteering or traveling even as you find balance in your schedule prior to medical school. I will be doing videos soon, about my thought process on the programs I've applied to, and some exciting news about what's ahead as far as programs.
I hope that encourages you to truly put your graduat school expectations and needs into perspective when thiinking about timelnes and what you are looking to gain from grdauate school pror to become. a health porfessional. If you guys want more advice on the program or any notes that I have please let me know in the polls down below, I would love to even asnwer questiosna bout classes, study tips, etc and post that as a video for others to watch pror to applying!
Let me know and I will catch up with you guys soon!
Your Holistic Hottiee,
