“My fellowship experience at the UCSF Breast Care Center has been absolutely amazing. I get to work closely with surgeons, oncologists, and patients, which has opened my eyes to the intricacies of the medical profession. Working in a University environment has given me the opportunity to sit in on lectures, watch surgeries, and gain a medical education – and I get paid to do so!”

"...[Patient Support Corps was a] very rewarding component of my position helped me understand disease from the patient’s perspective. "

“I worked one day a week as a Patient Scribe**** helping newly diagnosed breast cancer patients make a list of questions for their doctors prior to their appointment. … This very rewarding component of my position helped me understand disease from the patient’s perspective. Additionally, I had the privilege of helping these patients at a very frightening and overwhelming time in their lives.”

"I feel like all my experiences, especially in PSC, helped me immensely in terms of comfort and skill with my first patient encounters as a med student. I’m excited that I recently received a local research funding award which will allow me to continue exploring my interest in breast oncology this summer, working with a breast oncologist and researcher here at UAB. I know that my UCSF experiences helped allow me to get to this point, so I’m so full of gratitude for all that each of you do and have done!"
