As a an MD/PhD graduate, I was really inspired by having a strong impact on people's lives - both in a compassionate-type way and in a research-type way. I felt as though the faculty and staff at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shared similar feelings, and their research, level of expertise, and support only echoed that.
