Meet our Minors

There is no way that I can do justice to the experience that I’ve had with the minor. The door that it’s opened up for me has been so formative in shaping the way that I hope to pursue my career. I don’t think I would’ve ever considered the intersection between medicine and human rights until I was given the freedom to explore that in the minor.
