I choose to give back to PCOM as a Mock Residency Program interviewer, because I’m an experienced interviewer across many arenas, and this is a great way to assist with CV/resume and personal statement refinement all at once. While I am able to devote a short amount of time to each student, I think it has been a rewarding experience for them and me as well.

PCOM was good to me, so I give back through volunteering. Alumni can provide direction, encouragement, and resources to propel students into a successful future. Students who have connected with me to learn about anesthesiology have become successful doctors and still connect with me today. Volunteerism and the connections you build through it have a lasting impact on not only you, but also on the students you touch.
