43 Research Reflection by Porter Bischoff

Faculty Mentor: George Vega Yon (Internal Medicine, University of Utah)
I plan on pursuing an MD/PhD degree following my time at Utah Valley University. I want to be a pediatric endocrinologist that also studies some of the social science connections with blood sugar data and type 1 diabetics. My experience in SPUR has helped me learn how to code in a new way, gaining new skills, and it has also helped me become a better professional, giving me opportunities to present in a new field I didn’t know much about before. It helped me become more confident in myself and in my skills as a researcher, which will be a major advantage for my future goals.
