Pitt's Biology department stands out because of its extraordinary focus on undergraduate research, numerous opportunities for students to explore future careers in the biological sciences, and faculty members who are passionate about teaching. I received research fellowships that allowed me to participate in a NASA study, travel to England for a summer research rotation, and attend a conference in France. I also spent a summer participating in Pitt's HHMI program, which gave me the chance to mentor new undergraduate researchers, create a poster of my work, and formally present my research to the department. Through these opportunities, I developed the basic skills that I will use for the rest of my career in science. By the end of college, I had been so inspired by the experiences I had in the Biology department that I am currently enrolled in an M.D./Ph.D. program at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine so that I may continue my training and research in molecular biology.
Beth obtained a MD/PhD at UPMC, and is a practicing Internal Medicine Doctor in Pittsburgh.
