Hi there! I’m Cammie. I’m a Bay Area native and grew up in Oakland, California. I went to UC Berkeley (Go Bears!) and majored in public health. Before medical school, I took two gap years working as a clinical research coordinator at UCSF. Right now, I'm undecided on which specialty I want to pursue, but I'm keeping an open mind. My first year of medical school was quite an adventure in figuring out the best ways to study. I tried a mix of third-party and in-house resources, and my methods varied with each block. But if I had to pick one thing that really helped me, it would be ANKI. It helped me retain a lot of information quickly, especially anatomy. I’m still figuring out how to balance life and school. Outside of medicine, I love hopping around different coffee shops, practicing yoga, cooking up new recipes and indulging in photography. If you ever have any questions about MS1 or life in general, please feel free to reach out!
