What Our Students Say...

Vabby Baker

"I wanted to develop my portfolio before entering medical school, and I knew my time would be well spent in an environment where I would be pushed to dive deeper into a biomedical type science.  The Pharmacology and Physiology faculty have done just that - fostered an environment where I feel the stretch that accompanies deeper learning, yet comfortable enough to speak out as I learn."
