What sparked your interest in medicine?
My interest in medicine was sparked after working with several incredible physicians at the Med Center and Methodist during my training as a nurse. I realized how much I enjoyed thinking like a physician and wanted to develop those skills to practice everyday. So I made the transition from RN to medical school.
