How did your teachers/mentors help you?

The faculty and administration at MUSC really love their job and it shows in the way they support students on a regular basis. I received realistic and sound advice and encouragement on a regular basis from my teaching faculty, research mentors and college of medicine administrative team. I was never deterred from reaching from pursuing my goals and I was guided well over the course of my time there.
