As an aspiring physician, I hope to one day work as a cardiologist, primary care physician, or podiatrist, but I’m still open to other options if I enjoy them! AMSA has given me the opportunity to learn from professionals, medical students, and hands-on events in order to further gain insight to the field as well as encouraged me to be a more competitive applicant. Beyond professional support, AMSA has given me the chance to meet open and kind like-minded individuals who support each other on their way to meeting their goals and I know it can do the same for you!

My career aspirations include pursuing a medical degree and later specializing in bioethics with a career focusing on global health. AMSA provides me with a gateway to network with career professionals and fellow students with similar interests and aspirations.

I aspire to pursue a career in radiology, to become an interventional and diagnostic radiologist. With a major that will prepare me in medicine while allowing me to understand the mechanisms behind many of the devices practicing physicians use, I will be well-prepared for my future career, especially with my current specialization in biophotonics (very relevant to radiology). Having said that, there is one thing my education lacks: a medium where I can receive comprehensive preparation for medical school and the premed journey as a whole. Thanks to AMSA, I have been provided with countless resources for exactly that, while being of assistance to and fostering a passion for medicine in like-minded premedical students at UC Irvine. 

In the future, I hope to become a doctor specializing in neurobiology. AMSA will help me reach these goals by understanding the healthcare field even more through finding and participating in volunteer and clinical experiences. I hope to connect with my other premedical peers and create fun volunteer ideas to do as a club!

I aspire to pursue a career in either dermatology or pediatrics, and being in AMSA has truly helped me feel more confident in going down this career path. Not only does this club give me the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops and hear about other students’ experiences with the pre-med journey, it also provides a space to build a community of fellow pre-med students that can support each other. Having access to these valuable resources and to this sort of connection is vital to persevering through this somewhat challenging path and I want to help others feel supported as well!

Through AMSA, I hope to gain insight and connections with like minded peers. In the future I am interested in being involved with Neurobiology and I’m excited for the opportunities that I will get from AMSA. I am excited to get to know professionals and connect with a community that has the same passions as me! Overall, I’m excited for the opportunities that I will be able to gain at such a valuable club!

With the goal of becoming a physician in mind, AMSA has consistently provided excellent resources in both the application and development process and the wellness department. From hands-on experience with medical students to MCAT and pre-medical course-planning workshops, AMSA @ UCI has allowed me to explore many of the amazing opportunities the medical field offers and has only furthered my passion for continuing on this career path. The amazing people I’ve gotten to meet and befriend, and the incredible network of doctors and medical students I’ve been able to spend time with highlight just how valuable AMSA can be for anyone considering a career in healthcare!

​

After undergraduate, I want to work in healthcare but I am not entirely sure which path I want to take. Joining AMSA allows me to gain more experience and knowledge about the field and hopefully along the way, I will be able to find what I truly love. In addition, I want to make new friends who share the same passion with me in the club and want to learn from them. 

I'm looking to become a physician or surgeon and AMSA has been a great resource for me.

As a CS Premed student, I aspire to become a physician-scientist. One of the most crucial aspects of reaching any goal, in my opinion, is the community. Due to my background as a CS premed student, I feel that it’s particularly important for me to reach out and find a community of similar-minded people outside of class. I hope through AMSA, I am able to persevere and engage with other premedical students in this challenging journey.
