My name is Kylie Morris and the opportunity to study at the University of Pittsburgh was an incredible factor for my success in my first year of medical school. I am a medical student at Des Moines University with a scholarship in osteopathic medicine. When talking to my colleagues I have come to realize that very few schools offer as many opportunities as Pitt in both variety of classes and research opportunities. As a general Biology major I was able to take the advanced biology courses like cell biology, honors genetics, and intro to neuroscience that prepared me for medical school, as well as to take the courses I needed to get a Classics minor. The research opportunities were amazing, as well. I joined Dr. Jacobson's lab in my sophomore year. I was also an HHMI scholar for two summers. I am very grateful to have gotten such a great education at Pitt.
Kylie is a Family Medicine Physician at UPMC Hamot in Erie, PA.
