Ken Dada 4 Question Interview for MSU Early Assurance Program

Posted on July 27, 2021 by Lalisha Griffin

I think that my connections with the professors and the faculty and the mentors that I’ve worked with has certainly helped me out and I would say that rather it be office hours, emailing them just getting to know them is very important.

Detroit Mercy student Ken Dada has been admitted to Michigan State University College of Human Medicine’s Early Assurance Program. MSU CHM’s Early Assurance Program is a partnership between MSU and Detroit Mercy (along with other universities in our state) that allows for students to apply for admission to the medical school in their junior or senior year of undergrad. These students who apply for the Early Assurance Program are those interested in becoming physicians in underserved communities and populations. Pre-health Titan Ken Dada shares what led him to apply for MSU CHM’s Early Assurance Program, his experience applying to the program and advice for  Titans who maybe considering applying for Medical School through this program.

1. What appealed to you about MSU CHM’s Early Assurance Program?

 

I would say that the commitment of the early assurance program in wanting to serve in the underserved area, is something that really appealed to me. I really wanted to serve in an underserved area, especially in a primary care type setting.

…It took me a while to think about why I really wanted to do it and then once I honed in on what they wanted and what I want, it seemed like it clicked, like we both kind of mashed and molded into each other.

2. Every applicant is different. Please share 2 activities that you did that you believe really resonated with the focus of this program

I would definitely say my experience shadowing and volunteering in underserved areas and diverse areas. That was something that I was able to experience and something that they were looking for… I was sort of working in an area that would potentially be my area of expertise or field.

I would say another experience for me was tutoring. It kind of showed me a different area (to serve) people that I didn’t usually work with … I could really show them how to understand a topic because it’s different from person to person and from area to area… I think, the way I was able to elaborate on that experience certainty helped me out…

3. How did the application content and timeline differ from traditional medical school applications?

You have about two months to complete it and the application is due around February 5 to 10th… And then in that time between January and February, also take your Casper exam…After that you submit your application and you hear back around beginning of March you will hear back in terms of an interview and then late March….

It all happens during the Winter semester of your Junior year before the national application opens in the summer.

4. What advice would you give Titans interested in applying to medical school through this exciting program?

I would say,  get started as early as you can. Start thinking about how you want to write your activities, how you want to write your essays. That’s very important because time is going to fly like this and it really helps to have your things in order so you’re not rushing last second. 

Another thing I would say is to make sure that this is what you want to do …, you only have that one school to choose and I know many people, they want to have the option to maybe go to a different school or maybe go out of  state…So make sure that this is a school that really interests you and that you will able to thrive in this type of community… they have a different sort of curriculum than many other medical schools do.

Another thing I would say as advice is…always ask questions. You will not know as much as you think you know and you will have other people around you who may know a lot more.

St. George’s University gives an Invitation to apply to Medical School

Posted on July 22, 2021 by Lalisha Griffin

That’s one thing that I love about SGU…I’ve always heard medical school described to me as very cutthroat and people climbing over each other to get to the top and that’s not how it is. It’s very collaborative environment. We’re definitely here to support you every step of the way. We want you to be successful.

Joshua Theil, Assistant Director of Admissions from St. George’s University spoke with Pre Health Advisor Carmen Gamlin to encourage Pre-Med Titans to consider SGU for their choice for Medical School. During their interview, Joshua discussed what St. George’s is for Medical Students, advice for 2021 Cycle applicants who have not secured an opportunity as of now and options for those students who may need to strengthen their academics before applying to medical school.

What is St. George’s University for Medical Students?

St George’s University School of Medicine is located in Grenada, West Indies and is the top International Medical School creating US Doctors. Joshua highlights St George’s University School of Medicine by providing the University’s statistics on residency matching, placement rates and the success of the graduates from the Medical School. 

We were one of the first international schools out there.

If you’re not familiar with SGU, we are actually the largest medical school currently in the world. We’re actually the number one provider of doctors into the U.S. health care system. That’s news as of 2020, we actually are the number one provider. So across the board, over 12,000 currently licensed physicians in the United States right now, at this point are SGU graduates. 

We’ve been very successful at matching students into residency as well. We’ve been the number one provider over the last 12 years combined of placing students into residency. Last few years have been well over 1000 students in each class of residency and placed in the residency after graduating from SGU.

Well over a 94% placement rate and that success translates right here in the Midwest. We had over 40 graduates placed into residency spots right here in the state of Michigan this year alone as well.

Advice for 2021 Cycle Applicants who have not yet secured an opportunity for medical school.

So I think it’s important to note that we do have three separate start terms at SGU, so we have availability still and we are accepting applications for August term. But if you feel like that’s going to be too quick of a turn around for you, we do have a January term and an April start term as well.

So we are accepting applications we have quite a bit of flexibility right now and some of that is due to the pandemic and limited availability of students sitting for the MCAT as well. So actually, if you are applying for August, the MCAT is currently waived as well. 

Options for students who need to strengthen their academics. 

 

If students are concerned about their academic credentials as they current stand, rather that be their MCAT score or their grades or GPA, their science GPA…we’re definitely understanding of that. I wouldn’t want that to stop you from at least applying to see where you stand. 

I think it’s important to note that your application to Med school is actually an application for several different programs. You’re going to be reviewed for like direct entry medical school where you’re starting med classes right away. For students that meet our academic credentials and have a strong MCAT score, they’re going to be able to start classes right away. If you don’t meet that high threshold, then there maybe some other opportunities.

We have a number of foundational programs available for students to kind of coach them up, especially in their science arena.

So, within that, academically, we’re supporting you every step of the way. We have an outstanding DS is our Department of Educational Services Department that helps coach students with tutoring and additional support throughout your time academically to make sure that you can be successful and that you can grasp, become a master of the material so that translates into becoming a master of the field of medicine.

Fees: St. George’s University Application Fee and Cost of Foundational Programs

The Application Fee for SGU is $100. However, SGU has waivers available for applicants. In addition, as mentioned before, SGU offers a few foundational programs for students who have not reached the academic threshold but still want to apply for medical school. Joshua provides the cost of these programs and how they work.

So there’s two different programs you could possibly be placed into. The first one would be our MSET program where we’re kind of evaluating you to see where you’d place and that’s like a four week online program that would be starting before the semester starts. That’s actually a free program. Then you could either from that program go into direct entry program with that DS academic tutoring support or you’d be going into what’s called our Charter Foundation program which is like a foundation which is a full term that you would be doing either online if you did this in August or in person if you did this in January.

The cost of that would be similar to what a term would be on site, probably about $20,000, but it’s important to note that if you pass that program and you move on, good but if you do not pass the Charter Foundation program and your decide you don’t want to try again…We’ll actually refund that $20,000 that you’d be paying. 

Assistant Director of Admissions Joshua Thiel invites students to contact him directly via email jtheil@sgu.edu or by mobile phone (616) 345-9170. Also, visit www.sgu.edu for upcoming information sessions!

Let’s talk Physics! Interview with Dr. Prasad Venugopal

Posted on July 19, 2021 by Lalisha Griffin

We know the importance of Physics being a recommended pre-requisite course for most Pre-Health Professions but do we know the true importance of physics in relation to healthcare and society? Pre-Health Coordinator, Carmen Gamlin was able to receive some insight on the role of Physics in the health sciences and how science and society relate to one another from Detroit Mercy’s Dr. Prasad Venugopal, Associate Professor of Physics. Here are the highlights of their interview.

I think it’s very important for us to understand the history of science and how science and society intersect because if you’re going to be a doctor or a dentist or a researcher, biomedical researcher, what you’re dealing with is people and societies and nature and it’s very important for us to understand the sacredness of that.

  • Why is Physics so important for Pre-Health Students?

It’s the course that it’s very typical that most of our Bio and Biochem majors take one physics course as part of the requirements for their major…And for the longest time physicist, physic teachers have not done a great job of making physics meaningful to our students and so that’s been a challenge and I’m part of communities within the physics, within the larger physics world that is really looking at how do we make these courses more meaningful for our pre-health, pre dent students, for these biology majors and biochem majors.

The first way really goes to the basics and that is one of the most celebrated theories in biology and in nature in fact is the concept of evolution. We all evolve, nature evolves. And what’s an exact evolution that produces the diversity of the natural world and of the human world that we see it. I mean, we look around us, if you cannot but be amazed by how amazing nature is, how diverse it is…Biology does a good job with talking about diversity. Teaching evolution is talking about diversity but physics has a wonderful role to play in it because physics is the study of nature and trying to understand the ways in which nature works. So what physics brings to study of nature is that the laws of evolution as we know as Darwin and others put forward, are constrained by the laws of physics. So evolution is constrained by physics.

My dental students learn that the material of the gums and the material of the teeth have very specific properties. They understand that bones have properties that differ with age. They understand the physics of osteoporosis…So I teach them; I make it relevant to them by teaching them about how physics is so important to an understanding of the carriers they’re going into as doctors or dentist, or graduate students in medicine…I like them to see that the biology and biochemistry they’ve been learning is informed by the physics I’m teaching them.

  • Dr. Venugopal talks about the learning community Science, Technology and Race!

I can just start out by saying we have a lot of fun in this group and we do a lot of things together. We are serious, but also have fun. So what is this about? The idea for the community came from a course that I teach called Science, Technology and Race and that brings me actually to the second part of the answer for why physics is important and the important part of teaching physics for pre health students and that is; I think it’s very important for us to understand the history of science and how science and society intersect because if you’re going to be a doctor or a dentist or a researcher, biomedical researcher, what you’re dealing with is people and societies and nature and it’s very important for us to understand the sacredness of that. You know, people are sacred. Nature is sacred.

I want my students to understand that physics is meaningful for their lives, identities, their dreams and their hopes. But that is I have to teach physics that is relevant to people. And so it’s something that I’ve been trying to do in my physics classes, but in the meantime I found a way to do it and I developed a course called Science, Technology and Race where we talk about the history of science and technology and how it intersects with the question of race. And we also talk about gender in that class so that my students can understand that they’re not just scientists, but they’re also social beings, and it’s possible for us to do science that is anti-racist, that is very democratic science. That is a science for everybody not just a few corporations or for a few people making money.

So that is why I developed the course and it’s been quite successful. I’ve enjoyed teaching it and so when I had an opportunity, I started this learning community because I wanted to continue the conversation outside the classroom and the learning community was like a great way to continue that conversation because I knew that I needed to learn more.

I felt I needed a community of people who shared with me the idea of talking about issues of race openly without fear. Honestly, in particular for me, the connection to science and technology is important, but I also recognize that people come in with things they want to learn about and they want to talk about and so learning community really discusses race in so many different ways.

  • Literature and Physics?! You have Literature in your Physics Class? 

Physics sometimes can feel very dry and so removed from society and that’s the fault of the physicist, by the way and the scientists in general. But physicist, particularly that we pretend somehow that the physics that we teach and that we learn is doesn’t matter which society you’re in or what your station in life is or what your life experience are; the physics is the same and that’s not true. So what I did this past semester, in the middle of the pandemic of all things, I told my students we’re going to read a book.

Dr. Venugopal states that when he presented to his class that they will be reading a book along with their textbook, his students had some groans and  just wanted to get through the Physics course. However, he had particular goals for his class and wanted his students to have a better understanding of physics.

I think what is really important about what we’re going to do is we’re going to understand how physics is being used in the real world, not in an abstract form, but how people, how people’s culture, their background, where they live, the beliefs that they have, how all of those things influence how physics influence their life and how they use physics to better their lives…So I had them read a book called “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.”

Dr. Adam Bedell, DPT 3-Question Alumni Interview

Posted on July 13, 2021 by Lalisha Griffin

I would say the academic challenges I faced at UDM taught me how to think more critically which you can easily translate onto the field. You know you have to be a student of the game as much as you know you need to be a student in the classroom. 

Pre-Health Advisor Carmen Gamlin had the opportunity to interview Detroit Mercy Alum and former Titan Soccer Athlete Dr. Adam Bedell. Adam talks about his time as a UDM Student and Athlete, his career as a Professional Soccer Player and now as a Physical Therapist. Here are the highlights from his interview.

  • You are a Detroit Mercy Titan, tell us a fond memory of you being an undergraduate student there. 

As a student athlete, I had the privilege of being surrounded by a fantastic group of players and friends…I’ll be remiss if I didn’t speak on my time there with them as my fondest memories being on campus. Being a student athlete presents a special set of circumstances and challenges especially studying biology or really any science major as I did. It’s not easy navigating that alone. You know I found it exponentially easier to deal with that stress thanks to my teammates and coaching staff.

As simple as it sounds, some of my fondest memories were spent with my teammates, either in the dining hall after a hard training session, you know, or in the quads playing video games. Trust me, there were studying that went on too. But you know, sometimes those long study nights weren’t the fondest of memories.

I truly enjoyed the chemistry I built with all of my teammates and classmates and I look back very fondly on those memories.

  • You graduated from the University and transitioned to be a Professional Soccer Player. Are there any common traits about being a Science Student and a Professional Soccer Player?

I wouldn’t necessarily say there are similarities between a soccer player and a science student specifically, but I would say there are similarities to you know between being an athlete and a student in general. As I stated earlier, being a student athlete athlete presents you know, a unique challenge. One of those being able to allocate your time appropriately, as well as being extremely driven rather that being on the field or in the classroom.

I would say the academic challenges I faced at UDM taught me how to think more critically which you can easily translate onto the field. You know you have to be a student of the game as much as, you know, you need to be a student in the classroom. 

So I will say some of the lessons learned in the academic side of things at UDM were certainly and indirectly translated onto the field.

  • After a number of years as a Professional Soccer player you transitioned to Ohio State University and you have now launched a new career as a Doctor of Physical Therap. Do you Do you have any advice for undergraduates who are thinking about a career in physical therapy?

There a couple of universal pieces of advice that would be beneficial for people wanting to go to PT school and choose that career path.

First I will say and the most obvious. Its a bit cliché but get good grades. You know, PT schools are unbelievably competitive and many don’t admit a lot of students each year… For example Ohio State. Typically they get 500 to 600 applications every year for PT school and they admit 50 so it’s super competitive and you need to have that good base GPA to even get into that conversation of you know hey, this person have that GPA, lets look at their resume further.

Another piece of advice I can offer is to make yourself as marketable as possible! You know what does that mean necessarily? Don’t just be a good student right. If all you have to show on your resume or your application is a 4.0 GPA, you’re not going to get into PT School, anywhere. The PT profession is different than many other doctoring professions. You have to be personable, you know you have to be outgoing, you have to be devoted to serving others in your community. So I would say get out and volunteer in your community, shadow PTs in your area and get a feel of what the profession is like day to day and make sure that it’s actually something you want to do.

Lastly, I’d probably just tell students in the pre PT or any science major looking to transition to PT school is to get out and get a job as a rehab aide in a PT clinic. Its something I did for about a year and a half leading up to applying for PT school and getting into PT School. For me it definitely helped me get admitted, I’m sure of that. But it helped me one confirm that that’s what I wanted to do and two it just gave me that little step ahead of some of my other classmates, I think, that might not have had that exposure long term to what a PT clinic is, and what the day to day is.

Dr. Neena Baghaie, DMD 3-Question Interview with Pre-Health Coordinator

Posted on July 8, 2021 by Lalisha Griffin

When you go through school, when you do this every single day, its not a big deal to you, but to a patient who maybe have been waiting weeks, days, years all that it’s life changing and to have that much power to change someone’s life while keeping them happy. It’s just amazing.

 Dr. Neena Baghaie, DMD sat down with Pre-Health Advisor Carmen Gamlin to discuss memories of her time  as a pre-dentistry student at Detroit Mercy.  She offers advice to Pre-Health Titans considering Graduate School out of State and share her experiences as a Dentist. Here are the highlights from her interview.

  • Please share a fond memory about your tine as an undergrad at Detroit Mercy.

So I spent a lot of time with the Chemistry Club and there is a day we found a bunch of unused thermite in one of Dr. Benvenuto’s Labs and for those of you who don’t know what thermite is it is what is used to make up fireworks, and so every Friday with a little bit of guidance and Dr. B would find different things to blow up and it was a lot of fun!

  • Any advice for pre-health students about what to expect in graduate school out of state? Dr. Neena Baghaie completed Dental school in Ohio and now practices there!

Going to school out of state was really a chance to spread my wings. Kind of find out what I liked, what I don’t like, to explore a new area, and on top of that when you’re applying to grad school, especially in the health professions, you go when you get in! So it’s a good opportunity to really, you know, grow as an individual and learn more about yourself.

  • What is one of your favorite things that is part of being a dentist? Is Dentistry what you expected as an undergrad?

 

So there’s some things that you know you expect…you clean people’s teeth, you make them happy. You make sure they’re in a good state of health. You keep them healthy. But then there’s also those moments that no one prepares you for which we go on either side of the spectrum. For starters, today maybe about 2 hours ago, I had to call 911 for a patient which was a fantastic experience…

On the other hand, I remember for an appointment last week we did 4 front teeth for a patient who hadn’t been to a dentist in years and at the end of the appointment you know, for us it was no big deal. Its just regular every day dentistry but the patient felt they can smile again and they almost started crying in the chair which means I almost started crying in the chair but its such a good feeling to know you could make such a big difference for people in their lives like that.

Detroit Mercy Alum Interview with Histotechnologist A’Tearea Boggan

Posted on July 8, 2021 by Lalisha Griffin

I didn’t know about histotechnology, honestly, until I got into it. So I will say get as many skills as you can right now for as little as you can…If it’s a free class, go to it. If it’s like a free seminar, go listen to it. You never know what you can get out of something.

The Pre-Health Department at Detroit Mercy had the honor of interviewing recent Alum and Histotechnologist A’Tearea Boggan. During the interview, A’Tearea recounts fondest memories at Detroit Mercy, explains her current role and what she does as a Histotechnologist and offers advice to students considering a career in healthcare.

I will have to say some of my fondest memories happened on the third floor of Life Science, doing my undergraduate research. Just hanging with Dr. Grabowski and Dr. Belanger was really fun.

With Dr. Grabowski, I was actually his research student so I worked with Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches my entire undergraduate career…I also got to help Dr. Belanger and Dr. Grabowski with prepping the Freshmen Labs a couple years…with Dr. Belanger, I will just go into her lab because she has a cryostat for frozen sections and I will just go in there and bother her sometimes…I will just follow her around.

A’Tearea currently works as a Histotechnologist at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. During her interview with Pre-Health Advisor Carmen Gamlin, she explains what Histotechnologists does in a hospital setting.

Histotechnicians typically deal with two type of tissues. They deal with permanents, which are paraffin embedded and then they also deal with frozen which are fresh tissues. With the permanents, we deal with fixations, embedding, microtomy and staining.

For my lab specifically, we have a machine that embeds and machine that stains. So that’s kind of done for us but I know some labs are still manual so you will have to physically go through and change everything out.

For embedding we try to make sure everything is in a certain direction…When we embed, we embed it a certain way so when we cut it for the pathologist to look at, everything is uniformed and they can make sure they see every little thing because sometimes there might be a little spec of something that they need more of to make sure that either there are no cell abnormalities or that there are.

For frozens, we typically at my lab we get those tubed in or someone runs them in from surgery. So the person is still under and then we gross, which means to just cut it into smaller sections, embed it, cut it, stain it and then we have to run it out to the pathologists in 20 minutes or less because the person is still under and they still have to diagnose and make sure everything is right.

A’Tearea has this piece of advice for pre-health Titans who are considering a career in Histotechnology or other types healthcare.

I didn’t know about histotechnology, honestly, until I got into it. So I will say get as many skills as you can right now for as little as you can…If it’s a free class, go to it. If it’s like a free seminar, go listen to it. You never know what you can get out of something.

Try not to say no. If there’s an opportunity, try to take it just because you never know where that can lead you! I didn’t know that my four years of research would lead me into that career and then without having to take the actual course, I’m eligible for the certifying exam which I’m studying for right now.
