UC Davis is my top choice for pursuing undergraduate studies in the field of Biology, as well as dedicating myself to the community. If admitted, I plan on participating the next two years in the Research Experience for Undergraduates Program as well as the clinical internships at the student-run clinics at UCDMC. Being recently promoted to ER Scribe Trainer, I also plan on bringing more clinical opportunities to UC Davis. As a scribe, I work for ER physicians and am responsible for inputting patient data into Electronic Medical Record systems. This provides me a rare glimpse of patient and physician interaction, as well as experience with medical history, labs, and radiology reports. The exposure is invaluable for students wanting to pursue medicine, and I have the ability and experience to staff local hospitals with medical scribes. Having spoken to UC Davis alumni, I've also been eagerly informed of the campus' student-friendly community, countless of resources for students, and the top notch faculty. This feedback, and having visited the school as a High School student, has solidified my decision to attend this peaceful biking and environmentally friendly university - a place where I can continue to focus on my academic studies.
