In our third general meeting of Spring 2023, UCR AMSA brought together a medical student guest speaker panel featuring two medical students from UCR's School of Medicine: Haad Arif and Luis Delgado. Their shared experiences and unique paths to medical school left a lasting impact on attendees, offering valuable insights and practical advice for aspiring medical professionals.
Haad Arif, a 2nd year medical student, shared his inspiring journey of being accepted into UCR's School of Medicine through the regular application cycle. As an undergraduate alumnus of UCR, Haad's story resonated with many AMSA members, showcasing the possibility of achieving their dreams through dedication and perseverance.
Luis Delgado, a 4th year medical student, took a different route to UCR's School of Medicine through the Early Assurance Program (EAP). Coming from UCR as well, Luis highlighted the unique opportunities presented by the program and stressed the importance of early planning and building a strong foundation for a successful medical career. His insights provided valuable guidance to AMSA members considering alternative paths to medical school.
During the panel discussion, Haad and Luis touched on a wide range of topics. They discussed the challenges they faced, the significance of mentorship, and the balance between academic pursuits and personal well-being. AMSA members eagerly listened as the speakers shared practical tips and tricks to navigate the competitive application process, excel academically, and foster personal growth.
