Student Spotlight What were the factors that made you decide to attend the School of Medicine and Dentistry at U of R? The students and faculty were very inviting and friendly when I interviewed here. I got the feeling that peers help each other when needed and aren't super competitive with each other. There is also a lot of collaboration between clinicians and basic scientists which is important for the research I am interested in. The Director of Writing Services was a tremendous help with not only helping me edit my qualifying exam document, but also by boosting my confidence in my project and writing style. She helped make a critical time in graduate school much less stressful. Andrea Amitrano, Ph.D. Pathology Hometown: Buffalo, NY
