PML and UMDSOM SNMA

Sooooo many acronyms in that title. But they shall be explained!

PML means Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy. UMDSOM means University of Maryland School of Medicine. And SNMA means Student National Medical Association.

I was invited to a dinner with this group this past Friday evening. It was a get together for some of the minority students that attend the school of medicine. There were some awesome people there!

The person I was talking to what describing one of her unique experiences. She described an HIV positive patient that was not taking their medication. As a result, the patient developed PML. My eyes opened so wide, I bet they were going to pop out. PML is such an interesting disease to me. So to hear that she actually saw it in person there at the SOM was amazing!

This honestly felt like one little push by God saying that this place was the place for me. And I couldn't be more thrilled!
