A New Beginning

       As a proud New Orleanian, it is exciting to be back in my hometown and apart of the Tulane system once again.  Thus far, Tulane’s Pharmacology program has provided me with invaluable information that will certainly be useful in my next step as a medical student.  We have covered Basic Principles of Pharmacology and Cardiovascular Pharmacology.  We have also participated in a simulation exercise giving me my first taste of what treating a patient is like.  After experiencing my first two block exams, I am extremely confident that I will have a strong foundation in the mechanisms of drugs and there uses in treatment.  I cannot think of a better way to become a more competitive applicant than actually sitting in a medical school classroom.  It is a one of a kind experience.  The faculty have all been very helpful and made extremely intimidating material feasible.  However, the program is not only strengthening me academically.  It is also nurturing a long time passion of mine, volunteering! I am thrilled to soon be working with the students at a local KIPP charter school.  It always brings me joy to give back to the New Orleans community, that has made a serious impact on my life.  I cannot wait to update my blog with details on my experiences!
