A Week as a Student
You kick off with Medical Terminology, memorizing prefixes and suffixes. Later, your Introduction to Healthcare Systems lecture covers patient flow basics and administrative roles. After, you grab lunch with new friends from your dorm, discussing weekend plans. Later, you spend an hour reviewing term flashcards. Your first year feels like a constant information download, but it's exciting to see how it all connects to future medical settings and patient care.
