James Bowen

James is currently a second year medical student at the University of Pittsburgh. Upon reflection of his experience as an HMS minor he says, “HMS definitely helped me in terms of learning the public health aspects of medicine. We've had some classes on ethics and population health, and I went into them already knowing most of the information -- this was obviously extremely helpful. I also took a class on Abnormal Psychology through HMS which helped during my Psychiatry class.
