MS in Pharmacology Experiences: Writing to Angels during hard times for better times.
Where do I begin? Right here, at Tulane University School of Medicine, pursuing my masters in pharmacology. I am exactly where I need to be right now. I didn't realize this until recently. When I finished both degrees from my previous university, I knew medical school was my next stop. What I didn't know, is that, I am working within the universe's timing, not my own. I have always been interested in the brain and the effects of drugs on the brain. For the last 7 years I have been doing my own research within ethnopharmacology, so when it was time to face the MCAT and that world, the global pandemic, COVID, forced me to reschedule my MCAT 4 times. After this process of back to back dual science degrees, years of internship and research, this test was the icing on top. And starting and studying for this exam 4 times over a 10 month period was beyond mentally and physically draining. It turns out that 2020 has changed me more than I ever thought possible.
