Hi, my name is pursuing their pet of Ani and I graduated from the medical and molecular sciences program from the University of Delaware in 2014. Shortly after that, I attended and graduated from Georgetown University where I received my Master of Science in microbiology and immunology. I chose the MMS program at the University of Delaware, not because I knew that I wanted to work in a clinical lab, but because I like to learn by doing the lab coursework was clinically relevant. And I found it to be very interesting. Not only that, I thought it would make me a very unique applicant if I decided to apply to medical school in the future. Well, I was at Georgetown. I really wanted to work in this one lab. However, it didn't take masters students, and it only took PhD students. However, I was able to still work in the lab after sitting down with the person in charge. He was very impressed by my background knowledge and how I was able to do some of the techniques that not even the PhD students could do. Those law techniques, we're all taught to me through the MMS program at the University of Delaware. After graduating from Georgetown University, I matriculated at Rowan University School of osteopathic medicine, where I'm currently now a second year medical student. My classmates often say how jealous they are of me and my education that I received while at UT. Because I was so much better prepared for the clinical content knowledge that I received in medical school. They were impressed that I had knowledge in Hematology, Oncology, Clinical Chemistry, medical microbiology, all because of the classes I took at u du and the fantastic teachers that were able to teach me that content. I'm often asked by others what I did to best prepare myself for medical school. And truthfully was due to the MMS program at UT, which was invaluable to my success. I ultimately decided to attend medical school because although I love to be in a lab and I love to learn by doing, I still felt the need to connect with patients on that next level. It is for this reason that I'm also volunteering at the vaccination clinic. My school hosts where I'm able to connect with community members and residents and help to vaccinate those against COVID-19. Right now, I am working in a research lab on campus where I am employing a lot of the same techniques that I learned while in the MMS program at UT are awesome and gearing up for my clinical rotations. I will be going on in the third year. Overall, I recommend the MMS program at UT to any curious and scientifically minded person that loves to learn. Thank you to the MMS program at UT for giving me all the tools necessary to become successful and whatever I decided to do in the future.

Cristina Padovani attributes her career success to the strong clinical content knowledge she gained in the UD Medical and Molecular Sciences (MMS) program. She learns by doing and thrived during her undergrad career in the College of Health Sciences. Cristina received her master's in microbiology and immunology from Georgetown University, where she worked in a Ph.D. student-only lab because of her tremendous background lab knowledge. She is now a medical student at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine.
