Name<\/strong>: Oswaldo Subillaga<\/p>\n

Class Year<\/strong>: 2016<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>: Medical Student<\/p>\n

Organization<\/strong>: \u00a0Alpert Medical School of Brown University<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. In one sentence, what does your job entail?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a fourth year medical student, I am in the midst of residency interviews (for general surgery!) and completing clinical electives that will help me to become a well-rounded surgical resident.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. What planned and unplanned events connected you to your industry and your first employer after Holy Cross? How did you learn\/decide\u00a0it was a good fit for you?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I was able to shadow two wonderful surgeons at UMass Memorial Medical Center through the academic internship program at HC. While I already had an interest in medicine, that experience introduced me to the world of surgery which is ultimately the field that I plan on pursuing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. What were you involved in when you were on campus?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

While at HC, I was a RA, peer mentor, admissions interviewer, co-chair of LASO, and SPUD volunteer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

My major was political science and I also did my premedical requirements knowing that I wanted to go into medical school after college.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Having to argue for a point of view in a short essay at HC has helped me to\u00a0convey information accurately and concisely in both clinical and non-clinical scenarios. Surgeons, in particular, like brevity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. What advice do you have for students today?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Take advantage of the mentorship opportunities at Holy Cross and maintain those connections even after you leave the hill. Oh, and pay it forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
