                                                                Volunteer Hours (Total): 25.5 hours






We are officially in the home stretch! This month flew by so quick. We had our last full round of exams, which covered neuropharm and psychopharm. Both were very interesting topics that I really enjoyed learning about, especially the anxiety unit and the schizophrenia unit. This month has also been really busy with presentations. I had 3 presentations this month, and my last one is next week. Graduation is around the corner, so it has been exciting prepping for that experience. I am just excited to almost have my second degree! It really has been an amazing year in this program and I am so grateful that I got blessed with an opportunity to be here.

Volunteering this month has also been really fun! Our official birth companion t-shirts got here and they are cute! I got to do two on-call shifts this month and one recruitment shift. The on-call shifts were pretty relaxed, I didn't get to help with any labors but it was nice being able to network with the medical students, nurses, and physicians. With the recruitment shift me and a friend were able to secure 3 expecting mothers to the program!

Lastly, this month I got to participate at a Pre-Med conference at LSU-Med and it was an amazing opportunity. Lots of networking, and I got to participate in the simulation lab and put my knowledge to use with detecting heart sounds. Everything came back to me from our cardio unit, so it was ver fun to put the knowledge to use in a clinical setting.

November Recap

 November came and flew by, but it was a great month. With only a few weeks left in the semester, I am officially almost halfway through my first semester of Graduate School! This month we covered both the  Renal Unit and the GI Unit. I did a summer of research covering pediatric nephrology, so I really enjoyed the Renal Unit, and solidifying my knowledge of the kidney. The GI unit was interesting as well, we are currently gearing up for our last round of exams, and so far I am enjoying this unit as well. Dr. Datta is a phenomenal professor, and I really like the way she lectures.  Aside from the curriculum, I was able to volunteer at a food pantry called Common Ground Relief. This pantry is located in the lower ninth ward and was founded initially as a disaster relief program to help the community after Hurricane Katrina. Every Saturday from 10-2 they are open, and they give fresh food to the community, no questions asked and it doesn't matter who you are. I have really ...

The End- One Degree Hotter

  Volunteer Hours (April): 3 hours It is festival season, and this month I volunteered with some of my classmates at the French Quarter Fest, and it was such a good and fun time. We got free entry, a t-shirt, and a free gift card to spend.  The time has come for this chapter to close. This year has truly flown by. I am so grateful for this program that has not only helped prepare me better for medical school but also opened numerous doors for me and brought me in contact with some amazing people. This program has had its difficult moments, but I have truly enjoyed every second. I look forward to what the future holds! Peace out Tulane (for now :)) -Sincerely, Christa'l Singh B.S. M.S.
