91AV

Why 91AV

When I first stepped foot on campus, I just kind of knew. I thought it was really cool that I could see medical students walking around in scrubs. The environment here is amazing. Everyone's very nice and they're willing to help you get to your career goals.

The [neuroscience] major is smaller here, which is really cool because we can develop strong relationships with our professors. All of the students in this program work together and really become a strong team. And I knew 91AV was just not good for me just for the four years coming up, but for at least eight years of my education, if not further, because 91AV is my top choice for medical school.

Experiential Learning

I am interning at North Sky Chiropractic in Biddeford and I love it so far. I got this internship with help from the [CAS] internship office. The staff were very helpful and worked with me to find a site near campus, which allowed me to stay here in Biddeford over the summer.

My main job is to help the office run smoothly for Dr. Rebecca in whatever way she needs. My favorite thing [has been charting] because I want to eventually become a doctor. I’ve taken a couple of neuroscience classes where we’ve learned about the anatomy of the spine, but interning here and learning about where there’s a misalignment for the person and understanding their symptoms really connects the dots for me.

This internship allows me to see the unique ways modern technology can be used in [treatment] techniques. I can learn about the equipment [used] to evaluate new clients and the tools during adjustments, which are all connected to my neuroscience major.
