Health Sciences Commencement

I wanted to become a nurse because caring for others has always been important to me. My mom has been a nurse for 30-plus years and she has always been my role model, so I feel like that was another reason I wanted to become a nurse.

I wanted a program that would set me apart for medical school. I know the Ex Phys program will help me achieve my goals due to the rigorous curriculum that is provided during undergrad.

Professors are always helpful, and it's clear that they are invested in the future success of their students. The ability to rotate at clinical sites for a semester exposes students to real-world applications of what we investigate in the classroom.

My experience in the WVU School of Dentistry has given me so much more than just the education needed to be a dentist. I have life experiences that have helped me grow into not only a more suitable professional for the field of dentistry, but to also be a better person.

I feel very prepared to step foot into clinical practice thanks to the exposure I have had to rural communities, different practice settings and various patient populations.
