What did Georgetown have to offer that made it more appealing than another second degree program?
The Georgetown program is usually a shorter, more condensed program than others. I felt like I was truly getting my money’s worth. Furthermore, few other programs had direct access to a city that is the epicenter of healthcare initiatives. The second degree program offers clinicals in numerous hospitals that cater to both the indigent populations of the inner city as well as other affluent communities. When it comes to delivering quality healthcare, exposure to different populations is crucial.

How do you plan to use Georgetown as a springboard for your future plans?
I currently have an MBA so I was hoping that I could use both degrees to pursue a career in hospital administration. I am also thinking about becoming a flight nurse or possibly a trainer for paramedics. The possibilities are endless here!
