Here's not one faculty that has not been supportive. I love them all and appreciate them for really impacting my journey and growing to be a better person personally as well as professionally.
Taylor Aines
They really encourage us to get involved outside of just the clinical realm and also encouraged us to get involved with the community with some volunteer projects.
Megan Cox
The clinical sites that they send us to are very diverse, so I feel like I got a very well-rounded experience and I also had the opportunity to go to the Philippines and practice over there for two weeks. So I got to do some global health stuff that I feel really prepared me as well.
Angelan Johnson
Obtaining this degree is going to help me reach my goals of being able to oversee and help implement things in the community. It'll help me be able to embed the psychiatric health in our community and take that to a new level with leadership and inspire other nurses and other colleagues to do so.

My grandmother, who I cared for for 16 years, she'll say, "Mone, you a doctor?" And I'm like, "No, grandma. I'm better than that. I'm a nurse." So I am now a doctor nurse, and I'm so honored and I know she has the best seat in the house.
Welcoming our New Medical Students with White Coats
Recently, we proudly welcomed 145 new medical students during our White Coat Ceremony – a cherished tradition that marks the beginning of a student's journey to become a physician. Before the ceremony, a few students – Latiyuana, Jaelen and Lucy – shared how excited they are to start medical school and what the white coat means to them.A Season of Celebration
It has been a season of celebration with our medical, PA and biomedical graduate students taking the next exciting step in their academic journeys!
Watching the Class of 2023 graduate, surrounded by their families and friends, was truly a privilege – and such a proud moment for me as Dean. Seeing their energy, enthusiasm and outstanding talent take the stage reminded me just how exceptional our learners are – and the bright future they have ahead.
