"I love being part of Medical Sciences for the tight-knit community surrounding the students, faculty, and staff. Everyone is passionate about the program and willing to go beyond what is expected of them to benefit the program. I, as a student, have countless opportunities presented to me that are not present in traditional pre-med programs. I have taken exclusive classes, networked with faculty, gained shadowing and volunteer opportunities, and created my own student organization/program all through medical sciences. I firmly believe that I will be more prepared for professional school as compared to my peers not in my program in the next few years due to my participation in the program, and I would highly recommend this major to anyone aiming to attend professional school in a healthcare setting."

"I joined Medical Sciences for the incredible opportunities it provides for its students. Connections with medical school faculty, connections with local hospital officials, research/shadowing opportunities and the ability to take advanced medical courses truly sets Medical Sciences apart at the University of Cincinnati and makes it a program unlike any other. I feel that the program will allow me to excel academically while also building up my spirit and humanistic side, allowing me to become the best physician scientist that I can be, with a strong understanding of both the science behind medicine as well as the compassionate touch that is needed in the modern day medical world."

"I really enjoyed being in the Medical Sciences Minor because I was able to explore the field of medicine and experience the rigors of medical school coursework while I was still an undergraduate student. I received excellent mentorship from both medical students and faculty members, which is what drove me to be involved in the mentor program as a medical student. I am very thankful for all of the experiences I had throughout my time in the program. I highly recommend the program to anyone interested in a career in medicine or biomedical research."
