UConn Greek life, HuskyTHON, and participating in benchmark research were all important experiences that taught me a lot.
What did you do during your growth year(s) and what did you learn?
I took one gap year where I scribed for ScribeAmerica in outpatient orthopedics. It was an amazing experience, and I learned so much in a short amount of time. I also became a pro at charting, which is a great skill to go into medical school with!
