Favorite Thing About APPHO: I love how APPHO is a perfect blend of professional and personality. This club has allowed me to not only showcase the side of me that wants to pursue a future in healthcare, but has truly allowed me to do so with a smile on my face, and many many jokes. I think it’s easy to get trapped in the cycle of “what ifs”, especially in such a competitive field, but having the members that APPHO has, rooting for you every step of the way, sharing those ups and downs, and all the inside jokes in between, there’s just nothing better.
