As a Human Biology Major, I found it necessary to find
campus organizations that will contribute to my undergraduate success. At a
visit to my student advisor I saw a flyer for the Human Biology club and
decided that would be a great club for me to join. So, I attended one of there
meetings and found that they were very welcoming to new members and had a great
sense of community within their club. At each meeting they have speakers from
around the area who hold positions relevant to Human Biology. It is very
interesting to hear from local doctors, professors, and various career
counselors on their input in succeeding in the medical field.
Joining the Human Biology club has been a great experience
for me. I have learned a great amount from many of the presenters that have
spoken. My advisor spoke during one meeting and I was able to learn so much
about getting through my undergraduate degree with the right courses to succeed
on the MCAT. Not only did my advisor give great input, but she asked questions,
shared her experiences, and gave a lot of advise. Because of the Human Biology club,
I was able to learn far more about my major than I would be able to otherwise.
Other speakers that have presented include an internship
advisor, a nurse practitioner, a panel of students from the Osteopathic Medical
School, and many more great presenters. Although, every speaker was very
interesting to listen to and really engaged the club in listening and learning,
I found the panel of students from the med school to be very helpful. These
students gave us real advice on how to get to medical school and shared their
experiences as well. It was really interesting to hear about how the students
decided to enter into medical school. They gave great advice for students in
pre-medical undergraduate programs.
Anyone considering going into the medical field should reach
out to organizations like the Human Biology Club, they offer great advice and
really foster a sense of community among their members. Besides speakers, many
clubs also perform service work and have small gatherings for members to
socialize. My experience as an HBC member has been wonderful!
