“My education at Mercy shaped me in ways that no other school could. While completing the Radiologic Technology program I was inspired to pursue medical school. I would not have been successful if it weren't for the quality of Mercy College's Biology program and the individual attention I received. I'm grateful for the life-long connections and all of the support enabling me to become a physician in the Mercy system.”
