>> I was really fortunate.
I was part of the eight-year program that we had here, the baccalaureate MD program
so I spent a lot of time going back and forth to our Health Sciences Campus.
And that really, you know, convinced me that I wanted to stay here for medical school.
We have a fantastic resource in LA County Hospital here which is one
of the largest trauma centers in the country.
And we see a huge wealth of variety in terms of patients and diseases that they present to us.
It's a really remarkable place to train.
Even our undergrads here, like I was back at the time, have the opportunity to go and volunteer
at the County and figure out if it might be for them.
>> Yeah.
