all the way back to elementary school, I was fascinated by the human body. Then I loved all my science courses in middle school and high school. By the time I got to college, pursuing a pre-med pathway felt like the best reflection of my interests. Plus, I’ve always really enjoyed helping people, so it seemed like a natural fit for me. Like many medical students, you earned a Master of Arts in Medical Sciences (MAMS) degree prior to enrolling in your doctoral program. What was that program like

Research indicates that more higher-level decision-making happens in simulation than in a clinical setting, Kushner says. In a clinical setting, students are often involved in care but are accompanied by a nurse who makes most decisions. In a simulation lab, the students are assessing the situation, interpreting data, and making decisions. Thanks to
