Overall, this program was very interesting. I realized that I do want to pursue a career in the medicine field, specifically as an Oncologist. This program opened my eyes to different possibilities and gave me insight into how doctors work. One part I enjoyed was a session in which I learned how the process of figuring out a person's medical history works. I was able to both understand the necessary things that needed to be asked and to try and ask a few questions myself. Thank you so much for contributing to my great experience.

This summer, I will attend the NSLC Medicine & Healthcare program at UC Berkeley. This program is my chance to have some background experience of what the medical world is like. Students, like I, will be able to engage in simulations that can compare to real-life situations at either a hospital or clinic. These simulations will help us "be in the shoes" of doctors for multiple times throughout the program. Not only that, but we will also get to meet doctors that are in different departments in the medical world.

I chose this program because I aspire to become a doctor myself, Surgical Oncologist to be exact. I chose this program because I believe it would be the perfect opportunity for me to engage and really understand in depth both the struggles and work that a doctor has to go through each day. I'm really hoping that this program enhances my views on medicine and motivates me to pursue my passion upon enrolling into university. In addition to that, I am also looking forward to collaborating with other students who share the same passion as me. It would be really fun to work with students and share the same experiences that help us acquire new knowledge. Overall, I am really looking forward to attending this program and learning as many things as I can.
