Alumni Stories
“I still can’t believe I matched in Canada,” she says. “I am so honored to have been chosen to train at [Western].”
"The rigor of the program is top-notch, and you are exposed to so many different medical scenarios and
cultures—more than you would be at any other school."
"You really focus on your schooling and education, and [Ross] teaches you a real respect for the field.
And sometimes, I do miss waking up and wearing shorts every day."
“I took the determination I needed as an athlete, and put it into medicine,” he said. “I’ve got to say I worked pretty hard, but I enjoyed my time;
and I enjoyed some of the stuff the island had to offer.”
"The education that I received was top quality, and the professors had our best interests—as well as that of our future patients—at heart."
