“During my years as an undergraduate, I was encouraged to explore interest areas
outside of my comfort zone—the sciences. My Denison experience certainly enhanced
my knowledge base for medical school, but it also enabled me to emerge more confident,
responsible, well-rounded and with a sense of purpose and belonging—invaluable
qualities that have helped me to shape my life and career as a physician.”
