Alumni Profiles

“The networking opportunities here at WVU, specifically in the School of Medicine, makes all the difference. Reach out to those who do the work you are interested in, show your enthusiasm and initiative and network as much as you can.”

“It’s wonderful how much you can educate patients, but even more importantly, how much you can learn from the patient. This is an overlooked and crucial aspect of healthcare. It makes you a better physician and better person.”

“WVU may look like a large school, but Morgantown has such a small-town, family atmosphere that makes you never want to leave. The opportunities I have had at WVU and in the School of Medicine are endless.”

“If you put in the training, keep trying, and keep learning, you will grow in so many good and positive ways.”

“When I toured WVU, I knew this place was going to be my home for what I hoped to be the next few years. I was particularly amazed that WVU offers the only aquatic therapy program for undergraduates and knew it was the perfect fit for my goals and aspirations.”

“Our curriculum incorporates how to design studies, analyze and interpret medical papers and so much more. I knew I would learn a lot in my program, but I didn’t know exactly how applicable everything I learned would be to my medical school experience.”

“WVU has great science and research programs, quality education and affordable in-state tuition. I can envision myself getting into medical school, going to Washington, D.C., and engaging in nationally competitive programs.”

“I knew I would love to help others through rehabilitation to reach their goals and return to doing the things they love. My athletic background, my love for helping others, and my goal of using physical exercise to improve function is...what led me...to studying physical therapy.”
