On February 5th, students received a visit from Zobeida Cruz-Monserrate, Ph.D, who works in the Department of Internal Medicine at The James. She also holds an Assistant Professor position with OSU, and is the Director of the GHN Molecular and Cellular Biology Program and Laboratory at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Dr. Cruz-Monserrate’s main message to the students was to seek opportunities to follow their passions. She encouraged them to consider all the different paths to do so, like continued education (med school vs. grad school) and the wide range of fellowships and grants to apply for to fund their passions.
We greatly appreciate Dr. Cruz-Monserrate taking time from her very important work and research to share her career advice and expertisse with the class.
