Hello everyone! My name is Natalia Maya, and I am a fourth-year premedical student at the University of Florida. I study Health Sciences and am pursuing a certificate in Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare. As the current External National Director of National AMWA and President of UF uAMWA, I am thrilled to spearhead the AMWA blog this year!

My goal for this blog is to share the diverse experiences of pre-med students across the country. By building a supportive community and sharing our stories, I hope to show that none of us is alone on this challenging journey. If you’d like to submit a blog post and share your experiences, please contact me at [email protected].

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy our first blog post of the year, written by me, on a topic I am very passionate about: clinical experience!
