My strong science research background helped me better understand the fundamental aspect of medicine as it relates to clinical practice.
Hooked on science after an unintended geology class in her first semester at Mount Holyoke, Heidi Roop ’07 has traveled the world as a climate scientist.
Mount Holyoke education has served me well all my years beyond graduation. A rigorous curriculum, deeply engaged faculty and extremely diverse and resourceful student body created many learning opportunities and pushed me beyond the areas that I would have normally considered or experienced.
“Medical Family Therapy presented a unique combination of social science, medicine/healing and understanding other people's stories.”
As a student at MHC, I had gained not only the foundations of my academic studies but I had the confidence and poise to approach these people and make valuable connections.
How do science—and scientific uncertainty—and human values influence decision-making in highly contentious areas?
My time at MHC was just the start of an incredible journey of discovery.
In particular, I consider that the rigorous and yet "out-of-the-box" training, that I received from the exceptional faculty in the chemistry, biochemistry and biology departments at Mount Holyoke, provided me with a strong scientific foundation on which to build an exciting and rewarding career.
The annual conference featured more than 200 student presentations about their internships and research projects.
