My four years in BAS were extremely rewarding. I appreciated the opportunity to study a broad range of subjects alongside a small group of bright, motivated, and friendly colleagues. I was initially drawn to the prospect of keeping my options open for the future and ultimately discovered that BAS opened more doors than I previously thought possible.
In 2010, I earned a Master of Arts (MA) degree in history from the University of Windsor. Subsequently, I attended medical school at Western University’s Schulich School of Medicine. After receiving my doctor of medicine (MD) degree in 2014, I completed my family practice residency in 2016. Since then, I have been working in Windsor as a family physician. I also participate in small group teaching at the Windsor campus of Schulich, where I hold an adjunct faculty position.
The lessons I learned in BAS have served me well since graduation. With its commitment to developing analytical reasoning and communication skills in a diverse array of disciplines, the program prepared me to approach complex issues in the classroom and clinic from a variety of perspectives.”
