Reflection and Future Plans

With my experience complete, I am more than ready to go back to school. Oddly, I work the whole semester just with the goal of making it to the end, yet just as I begin my brief break in between my last and next semester, I want to start classes again. As I’ve stated inContinue reading “Reflection and Future Plans”

After the two weeks of the virtual component of the Summer Professionals Education Program, I begun the in-person component at the University of Florida on May 30th. This week, we focused on maternal health, specifically surrounding C sections and childbirth as a whole. Interestingly, although most countries only have a C-section rate of 5-10%, closeContinue reading “My Experience, Blog 2”
