A Well-Rounded Person Makes A Better Doctor

Sam, Started at Age 16

Biology

Simon's Rock has helped make me a really well-rounded person, so I have a lot of interests outside of medicine and science, so that will hopefully make me a better doctor.

I was able to go abroad for a year, which I loved and which a lot of premed students at other places can't. While I was abroad I took whatever class I wanted since I had basically finished my requirements so I got to take classes in human ecology, and neurodegenerative diseases.
