Internal Medicine was the rotation where I felt the most energized everyday walking into the hospital. I loved playing detective, piecing together different aspects of a patient\u2019s history, labs, and imaging to figure out what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Opayemi was inspired to enter the world of health care thanks to his mother. \u201cShe\u2019s a nurse, and growing up, I saw how passionate she was about caring for people. It made me think, \u2018There\u2019s got to be something special about this field.\u2019 She was right! I fell in love with medicine from the moment I started volunteering in high school,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe people at UConn made this experience unforgettable. I\u2019ve never been surrounded by so many passionate and driven individuals. From day one, in our TBL (team-based learning) sessions, I knew I was in the right place. I felt at home. I cannot emphasize enough how UConn has shaped me into a well-rounded future physician. I\u2019ve spoken to alums of UConn SOM who say they felt more prepared than most interns on day one, and I can already tell that\u2019s going to be true for me too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Opayemi loved his experience at UConn\u2019s medical school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUConn SOM means the world to me. Being a Husky and part of UConn feels amazing. Every time I walk into a patient\u2019s room and introduce myself as a UConn medical student, I feel proud,\u201d said Opayemi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so thankful to everyone who helped get me to this point!\u201d exclaims the future Dr.<strong> Lily Zhong &#8217;21 (CLAS)<\/strong>, of East Lyme, who has a lot to celebrate.
