CATHERINE ZHU, June 2015 graduateCatherine graduated from the University of Michigan Honors College in 2015. Following graduation, she worked as a medical scribe at the University of Michigan hospital to get clinical exposure while applying to medical school. | |
 | ROHAN DESAI, May 2017 graduateFrom Rohan: I plan on going to medical school but I have decided to take a gap year. In this gap year, I have been hired as a post-baccalaureate fellow at The National Institutes of Health. At NIH, I will be working in a research lab conducting some independent research with a clinical focus. In the process of writing my honors thesis in biophysics here at Michigan I have discovered my love for scientific research and I want to integrate that into my career as a physician eventually. That is why I decided to take a year off to focus on research, basically. I will be applying to medical schools in the coming months and hopefully will start at one after the summer of 2018. I would like to thank the Alumni Club for their support over the past 4 years! The opportunities I had were unparalleled and I would not have been able to attend without the financial support of the club, which is why I encourage continued donations to the scholarship fund so future prospective students can have the same chance that I have. |
