    ask-question

    Tell us why you initially decided to study at UMHS.

    From my own research, I learned about its well-structured program which was comparable to medical education in North America. Moreover, its small class sizes, accessible professors, courses taught by teaching faculty from US/Canadian medical schools, state-of-the-art campus, its large and well-equipped anatomy lab and incredibly remarkable simulation lab were amongst the pluses that drew my attention toward UMHS.

    ask-question

    What was the educational experience at UMHS like?

    Office doors are always open and professors are extremely approachable and welcoming. Class sizes are small and the students are known on a first-name basis by the faculty. The library is conducive to learning. It has many individual and group-based study spaces and access to a large number of books and online research databases. Mentoring, tutoring and block reviews are provided by faculty and teaching assistants regularly. In addition, Block and NBME exams are analogous to Step questions which really prepare you well for taking the USMLEs. Overall, I really felt well supported by the faculty and staff at UMHS.

    ask-question

    What advice would you give for others wanting to become an M.D.?

    I’m extremely grateful to UMHS for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dreams of becoming a physician. I would not be where I am today without UMHS. For those aspiring physicians, I would like to say ‘don’t ever give up on your dreams and don’t ever allow anyone to deter you from achieving them.’ Remember, ‘If you can dream it, you can do it!
