Be the Reason: Larry Yang
Scholarships help students from all backgrounds access Saint Louis University's Catholic Jesuit education. Hear from recent SLU School of Medicine alumnus Larry Yang on how donor support has been helpful on his journey toward an M.D.Larry says: "I think scholarships have really impacted the way that I thought about where I go for residency and what specialty I pursue.Unfortunately, a lot of students when they're thinking about specialties, finances are also a part
of that consideration.For example, the salary and how much they'll be making.There's the idea that some residencies and specialties are quicker to do than others, and all because of that, some people might be more inclined to pursue a specialty that maybe they're not interested in as much, but they know will help pay the bills.So, for me, I'm very interested in internal medicine, and historically it hasn't been the most well-compensated field, but it is the one that I enjoy the most.And so because of the scholarship, I feel like it's helped me really pursue that specialty comfortably. There were a couple of reasons why I really enjoyed Saint Louis University
in terms of choosing my medical school.And one of the reasons is the holistic approach that our curriculum employs.Students are able to see patients very early on in their career and their education and be able to develop a longitudinal experience.I was definitely surprised when I was able to see my first patient in only the first week of medical school, and I thought that was just a fantastic experience.It really set the stage for what I learned in class.It's one thing to learn about about questions and pathways and lectures, but another thing to understand that this is all done for the for the patient at the end of the day."About SLU: Founded in 1818, Saint Louis University is one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious Catholic institutions.
