University College is just what the future doctor ordered. Brendan Michel 鈥�10, who graduated from University College鈥檚 post-baccalaureate 听certificate program, now is pursuing an M.D. from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill.

Hoping to secure a residency in surgery after his projected 2015 graduation, Mr. Michel said his career objective is to practice clinical medicine as a cardiothoracic surgeon in North Carolina, his home state. 鈥淢ore specifically, I am hoping to serve the rural areas of North Carolina while also maintaining a practice in an urban area,鈥� he said.

鈥淚t was not until I was in my sophomore year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) that I decided I wanted to attend medical school, once I completed my bachelor鈥檚 degree in aerospace engineering,鈥� Mr. Michel said.

The reason he wanted to study medicine? 鈥淚 want to work with people on a regular basis and unite my knowledge of engineering with the field of medicine. I never viewed it as switching fields because medicine, similar to engineering, is a science that is a conglomeration of all other areas of study,鈥� he said.

鈥淎rt, biology, chemistry, physics, writing, mathematics and every other field one can possibly think of play some part in medicine. I wanted the human condition to play a larger role in my career,鈥� he said. 鈥淲hile designing pumps, aircraft and race cars is appealing, I want my career to include more human interaction.鈥�

Mr. Michel said, 鈥淚 learned a lot at RPI, but the program I completed did not prepare me for medical school.鈥� He still needed to take biology, chemistry and organic chemistry classes to fulfill the prerequisites for medical school. He said he then began 鈥渓ooking for an affordable and reputable post-baccalaureate premed program to obtain my prerequisite classes for medical school.鈥�

He chose 础诲别濒辫丑颈鈥檚 program because 鈥渋t not only had the characteristics of the post-baccalaureate program I was looking for, but it also had a science department with a good reputation,鈥� Mr. Michel said.

Throughout his year at Adelphi, where he was a resident, 鈥淚 had nothing but good experiences with all of the faculty,鈥� he said. 鈥淚n fact, almost all of the faculty I interacted with wrote me letters of recommendation and gave me sound advice for the MCAT [Medical College Admission Test] and the admissions process.鈥�

Mr. Michel said, 鈥淚 had to study harder than most for the MCAT because I did not have an extensive background in the biological sciences or chemistry. But because I had learned the material so well from Adelphi, I was able to grasp those areas and proceed to score very well on the MCAT.鈥�
