Favorite Memories of the Program

  • Spending many many hours studying with my cohort, which was usually followed by an ice cream outing.
  • How could I ever pick just one favorite moment?! Our skeletal dysplasia lecture during our first year is certainly one highlight, but when I think about all the time I spent in the classroom, it is all a montage of learning and laughter (and amazing snacks!).
  • My favorite memories are all the laughs and heartfelt moments I shared with my classmates.
  • Trying metabolic formula with Liz the dietician, watching videos of baby John King to learn about developmental milestones, and exploring Chicago for NSGC!

Favorite Memories of the Program

  • The NSGC conference in Nashville, two of my classmates and I bonded incredibly. We had so much fun!
  • Meeting new people during such an important moment of my life. I never thought I’d end up living in St. Louis, but cannot picture my life today without the friendships I gained during the length of the program.
