Nobody
said it was going to be easy. Since undergrad at LSU it has been a constant
grind of studying, working, and volunteering. Now that September is coming to
an end I get to reflect on my first month of graduate school at Tulane
University. The program I am currently enrolled in is a Masters of Science in
Pharmacology. Going into this program I only knew 1 out of the 33 people
enrolled in the class. Over the past month, I have made 32 new friends, learned
an exorbitant amount of new information relating to the medical field, and have
listened to some of the brightest people speak on their current research they
are doing in their lab in hopes to modify and progress the future of
Pharmacology. Some of the interesting topics I have studied in this program
include: pharmacokinetics, eicosanoids, corticosteroids, drug disposition, and
my personal favorite, cytochrome P450. All of these amazing things have
happened in the classroom setting at Tulane’s School of Medicine in downtown
New Orleans. With the block 1 exam under my belt and still so much information
to learn, I am looking forward to see what other incredible things I experience
in this program.
