For current students and 果冻破解版 alumni seeking a career in the medical field, Komal has this advice:
鈥淒o your research. Seek out campus resources like counselors, teachers and tutors. Don鈥檛 be scared to ask questions. Reach out to grad programs and ask them what they are looking for in an applicant. Shadow different health professionals. Ultimately, shadowing different professions is how I realized that I wanted to be a PA, not a doctor.鈥
