"Dr. Bruch was a huge help during the residency application process. She really helped build my confidence. She reviewed my personal statement, which led to an entire perspective change that I feel was pivotal. When we matched, she was right there to warmly congratulate us.”

"Dr. Pichilingue was not only was a fantastic teacher on the clerkship, but she became an inspiration and a mentor that helped me tremendously. She is generous with her time, sacrificing her lunch time to meet with me and discuss pathology and being available to discuss any question I had about pathology as a career.”
