As we enter the last unit of the semester, I cannot believe how fast time has flown by. So far, I have greatly enjoyed the program. These last 4 weeks have really been quite interesting. At the start of the month during the cardiovascular module, we had the chance to participate in a simulation at the med school’s simulation lab. This was an awesome learning experience that in my opinion significantly helped me better understand the material. The CV module was especially dense and at times, remembering all the different drugs was difficult. Though, being able to see how certain drugs affected the body in real-time in the simulation lab made a huge difference. Further, it was cool putting all the information we have learned throughout the year so far into real-life scenarios. It just made me that much more excited to become a physician.  

            On the community service side of things, this month as a class a bunch of us were able to get together and create homemade thanksgiving cards to be sent out to various foster kids. While I must say that arts and crafts are not my strong suit, it was great spending time with everyone in the program making these cards for a truly good cause. I hope that we can all do something similar in the future. 

            While I was not able to get out to the food bank this month, I do plan to continue volunteering with them next month and throughout the year. This is something I truly enjoy and strongly believe in their mission. 

            So far, I have sincerely enjoyed the pharmacology program and am excited to see what the next semester holds.

This is something I have been doing since I was an undergrad at Tulane. I was first introduced to the bank by a family friend and ever since I have made an effort to try and take as many shifts throughout the year as I can. When volunteering with them, there are 2 main shifts, the packaging center, and the community kitchen. I personally enjoy working in the community kitchen prepping meals that are to be sent out to various schools, shelters, and long-term care facilities throughout the area. Louisiana has been hit hard these last couple of

The year truly flew by.  It was filled with many obstacles including trying to navigate Covid as well as Hurricane Ida, but we have finally made it to the finish line. Despite the craziness, it was an amazing year. I could not think of a better program to have participated in. Not only did I learn so much, but I was able to foster new relationships and make life long friends along the way, all while being able to stay in the amazing city that I have called home now for the last

September Blog

 Blog 1:     ​      The beginning of my master's program definitely did not get off to the start I had imagined. After half online and half in-person classes for the last year and a half, I was eager to get back into the "normal" way of things. It had been a long year and I think we were all ready to have some normalcy back in our lives. The first week went great and I was excited to see what the rest of the year had to offer. Then came hurricane Ida. Having gone to Tulane as an undergraduate, I was no stranger to hurricanes, though throughout my time here I had yet had to evacuate. Growing up, I had experienced my fair share of major storms, and only once in my life have I had to leave town. Though at that time, I was almost too young to remember much. Knowing most people would be trying to leave town all at once, I decided to leave at the crack of dawn in hopes of beating the traffic. I was off to Florida to meet family friends and was lucky to only get caught in minor
