Self-care

Students become passionate about health-related topics for many reasons. Many students are inspired not only by personal experiences but also the struggles of friends and loved ones. If you are currently in treatment or have recently completed treatment in the area you are applying for, we encourage you to discuss this endeavor with your provider or with us to determine whether this is an appropriate time for you to engage in peer education activities.
