“I chose Neurosurgery because I was drawn to the intellectual stimulation of working in a field that pushes the boundaries of understanding the intricacies of the human brain. I find fulfillment in playing a supporting role that allows pioneering neurosurgeons to focus on their lifesaving work. The fast-paced, detail-oriented nature of my role enables me to contribute the organizational talents to a vital medical specialty.”

“I was interested in a career in the health field and was accepted into the WashU Medical Apprenticeship program and became a Medical Assistant. Since working in the department of neurosurgery, I was inspired to further my education. Today, I’m enrolled in the Pre-Nursing Program at the School of Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS), so that I can achieve my goal of obtaining a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN).”
