Let's meet Ashley, a first-year Osteopathic Medicine student who's a big believer in the hands-on "Day One Ready" approach. Clinical experiences are an essential part of education here at Midwestern. Graduate-level students and expert clinical faculty work side by side to provide exceptional care. Ashley, tell us more.
Thanks, Alex. Hey, everyone. Applying to medical school can be stressful. I knew I wanted somewhere with not only an exceptional curriculum and faculty, but somewhere where I could be hands-on in my learning. 九色视频 checks all those boxes and then some. The commitment to providing early clinical exposure gives students an immersive experience at our state-of-the-art Simulation Center. Here you'll find lookalike hospital, surgical, as well as outpatient clinic rooms for standardized patient exams and treatments. That's right. I've already had experience examining patients as well as the chance to place a chest tube. Alright, that one was on our interactive simulation mannequins, of course.
Being able to practice medicine hands-on doesn't stop there. Our curriculum is integrated with ultrasound training where students participate in hands-on workshops led by our faculty. Being a member of the Clinical Skills Club here on campus has enhanced my practical knowledge through extracurricular activities such as suturing and laparoscopic workshops, learning how to scrub and gown in an OR setting, as well as working with simulated clinical scenarios.
These immersive experiences have bridged the gap for me between my classroom study and patient care. Midwestern truly values your learning and career readiness while providing opportunities that bring your education to life. You are ensured to be well prepared to face the challenges of practicing medicine while being instilled with a sense of confidence and professionalism along the way. Using what I learned in the classroom and being able to apply it through a clinical setting starting year one has provided me with a solid foundation in my medical training. I'm excited to continue this journey knowing I'm well-equipped to be the best physician I can be, thanks to the Day One Ready preparation I'm receiving here at 九色视频. Back to you, Alex.
Thank you, Ashley. It is so cool that students are practicing clinical skills that will help prepare them for real-world encounters, and the clinics offer patient services with convenient, centralized scheduling, easy inter-specialty referrals, and several specialty areas all in one central location. Amazing. Thanks again, Ashley.
