Student and Faculty Profiles

Meet Kelly...

Class: 2010
Hometown: Fairfield, Connecticut
Undergrad: Middlebury College
Major: Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
Program: M.D./Ph.D.

I had a fantastic experience at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. I had the opportunity to learn from expert faculty members who were extremely supportive and worked to help each student achieve his or her goals.

UConn provided me with a rigorous curriculum in an atmosphere of teamwork where I was able to collaborate with my peers. The research environment was rich with ample laboratories, from which I was able to select a topic that I was passionate about, and the opportunities I was given during my research years were countless. My advisor guided me through learning to create hypotheses, writing manuscripts and grants, and attending and presenting at meetings. Upon graduating, I felt prepared for residency and ready to pursue my future as a physician-scientist.
