My favorite part of FIU PA is its partnership with Baptist Health, which has allowed me to complete clinical training at renowned institutions like the Miami Cancer Institute. This experience has been invaluable, giving me the opportunity to serve Miami’s rich Hispanic culture.

I chose FIU because of its mission to serve the community and promote patient-centered care. I was drawn to the opportunities to learn from diverse experiences and give back through programs like NeighborhoodHELP.
