Although [the program] was a difficult experience, it paved the journey to my main goal at the time: acceptance into medical school. I ended up gaining so much along the way, and I am so thankful for that.

To this day, I honestly believe completing the Graduate Certificate in Molecular and Biomedical Sciences was among the best decisions of my life. Though a very challenging program, it set me up for success in medical school.

Sara Sherman, MD, a graduate of both the certificate and MD programs at the College of Medicine and a pathology resident at Baylor College of Medicine, created the Tracey A.
