Victoria \u201cTori\u201d Griffith, Justin Hudnall and Miranda McCormick have been selected to take part in the University of Kentucky Early Assurance Program. This is the third year of Transy\u2019s partnership with UK, which assures the admission of up to three Pioneers to the UK College of Medicine-Northern Kentucky Campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program secures a spot in medical school and provides experiences that offer special preparation, including assisting in a gross anatomy lab, exposure to hospital and office practice, shadowing and mentoring from physicians, MCAT readiness and a one-week boot camp.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransy&#8217;s partnership with UK has turned into a wonderful pathway for some of Transy&#8217;s high-achieving pre-med students,\u201d says Robin Prichard, coordinator of pre-health preparation programs, part of Transy\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/center-for-academic-and-professional-enrichment\/home\">Center for Academic and Professional Enrichment<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose who qualify for the Early Assurance Program are the best of the best. These students have maintained a high GPA in very challenging courses and have attained recommendations from Transy science faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tori Griffith, of Maysville, Kentucky, finds reassurance in knowing that as long as she follows the guidelines, keeps up her academics and scores well on the MCAT, she has a place in medical school when she graduates in 2022. Being part of the program, she says, \u201callows me to continue to focus on my grades and experiences while knowing I have an early assurance to the medical school I would wish to attend after graduating from Transy.\u201d It helps the math major and biology minor toward her goal of building a career in the northern Kentucky area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program will also help Justin Hudnall of Morgantown, Kentucky, meet goals he expressed when he first arrived at Transylvania: \u201cto graduate from Transy, to go on to a medical school that is rewarding and challenging and eventually to become a doctor who helps every patient he sees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-lees-blocks-testimonial-block undefined testimonial\"><div class=\"testimonial-text\"><div class=\"blockquote-text\"><div class=\"quote\"><p><em>It\u2019s a wonderful opportunity that I\u2019m excited to begin in order to experience the field I\u2019ve been anticipating entering since I was a child.<\/em><\/p><\/div><p class=\"sourceName\">Miranda McCormick<\/p><div class=\"sourceTitle\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For Miranda McCormick, whose hometown is Owensboro, Kentucky, the program offers a variety of opportunities and connections in the medical field that she says she wouldn\u2019t otherwise be able to experience. She also sees it as a way to learn more about her particular interests in oncology and cardiology. \u201cI think this program will enable me to explore both of these branches of medicine while also exposing me to a variety of others, which will help me solidify my field of interest,\u201d McCormick says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course, being accepted is \u201ca big stress reliever,\u201d she adds, eager to make the most of the advantages many of her medical school peers won\u2019t experience. \u201cUltimately,\u201d says the double major in molecular and cellular biology and religion, \u201cit\u2019s a wonderful opportunity that I\u2019m excited to begin in order to experience the field I\u2019ve been anticipating entering since I was a child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Submitting an effective application is the crucial step in achieving their goals. And these students are quick to recognize the benefits of having the help of Prichard and the pre-health program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransy prepared me to have a successful application through campus opportunities and Robin Prichard,\u201d Griffith explains. \u201cAt Transy I have the opportunity to be part of different organizations, such as the Pre-Health Club, in which I could learn about these opportunities. I have been going to Robin to discuss applying for this program since late last year and feel she very much prepared me for the application process. She helped calm my nerves and gave me everything I needed to be successful for the application of the program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/alex-voelker-pic-608x810.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11113\" width=\"165\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/alex-voelker-pic-608x810.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/alex-voelker-pic-263x350.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/alex-voelker-pic-548x730.jpg 548w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/alex-voelker-pic-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/alex-voelker-pic.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 165px) 100vw, 165px\" \/><figcaption> Senior Alex Voelker was the first from Transy to be part of the program.
