International Programs

I started in Portage Community program in 2019. I wanted to go to medical school because of my grandpa. As I was growing up, I remembered seeing my grandpa praying for a long time. I thought he might have a long list of requests, yet to my surprise it was a long list of prayers for family, friends, and prayer request for others. My grandpa showed me the art of helping and the willingness to always help others.

As I was growing up, I loved discovering Science, Biology, Physics and Chemistry.  Each subject contributes to Medicine. I’m excited to start a career of service and science.

My goals in medicine are big, but my first long term goal is to finish my career successfully. My second dream is to be able to enter to a good residency program and become a Cardiology Doctor. I would also like to start an educational program to prevent cardiovascular diseases and serve the community.

I have learned the importance of spending time with loved ones.  I very much enjoy spending quality time with my family. I enjoy visiting the countryside, seeing the animals, green spaces, nature and all the details of it. I also like to listen French music.  I love going to church and joining the medical mission groups.

I started in the Portage Community program in 2020.

Medicine is a humanitarian career.  It helps others and allows me to be a blessing and light for others.  To be able to help a person find the origin of their medical issue, recover from a disease, and offer an opportunity for the patient to heal is incredible.

I hope to become a wise professional who loves their job and puts into practice all the knowledge and values learned during my career.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also like to watch comedy movies and volleyball.

The essence of medicine is to help others and that is something I have enjoyed doing since I was a child.  I identified with the career because of the example set by family and friends. My Grandma always told me “There are enough people to help if you want to”. I still carry those words with me. I have served as a translator for mission groups and it influenced and taught me to find happiness in doing good for others.

I hope to be a good professional and to be able to help others through the things I learn.  When I’m done with my career, I would like to learn a specialty.  I’m not sure in what area yet, but something I am very certain of is that I want to be a responsible and exceptional professional, no matter which specialty I practice.

I enjoy spending time with my loved ones and friends more than anything in the world. I like to read, appreciate good movies, and watch baseball and basketball.
