 I have participated in the McCullough Forum these last two years. I've heard from a pharmacist and from people that work for the insurance companies in Alabama. It's one of the highlights of my past years as a pre-medical student. Because we get to hear speakers that are residents, that are doctors, that are in the community of Tuscaloosa. And the different stories that they share really provides a framework for students like myself in creating an idea of what our future is going to entail. We always have a medical student panel, which is a really wonderful opportunity to speak with people that are doing what you hope to be doing in a few years and get your questions answered real-time. Getting to hear Dr. McCullough talk, getting to hear his passion behind the things that he does has definitely allowed me to reevaluate why I want to be a doctor. You can sit in a classroom all day, but sometimes it's hard to have the perspective of why this is all going to matter. But when you're hearing from medical students and physicians and pharmacists and people working in healthcare, you can see the broader picture of how this is all going to matter a few years down the road. Being able to first-hand hear accounts from residents, from doctors, on challenges in the medical field, some of their joys, some of the things that they face every single day, through those stories you're able to see the characteristics and the traits that are important for not only being a good doctor but also caring for other people. I think I feel much more prepared to collaborate with a lot of different people working in a healthcare setting. Just having the opportunity to hear advice and hear about the experiences from people that have gone through decades in the healthcare field has definitely allowed me to prepare more for what's to come in the future ahead. So, if I could say into words any way to thank McCullough's for having the forum and the amount of support that they show this university, it's just thank you for taking the time to care about pre-medical students, providing us an environment where not only we can get to know one another, not only where we can see each other's different aspirations and different goals, but also caring enough to come up to us after the forum and speak to us one-on-one about our aspirations. They are so willing to sit down and speak with all of the students and they stay for hours to just talk with you and encourage you. That goes a long way, especially from people who have so much experience coming from us who have so little experience so far. So just the amount of care and authenticity they show us as pre-medical students at the University of Alabama. I cannot thank them enough for that.
