Nicole Samies

Class of 2015
VCOM-Carolinas Campus
Hometown: Orangeburg, SC
Undergraduate:  Furman University, Biology Major, Bachelor of Science
Graduate School: Drexel University, Certificate in Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Interests: Exercising, baking, spending time with my friends and family
Planned Specialty in Medicine: Pediatrics

 I chose to go into medicine because of the passion I find when learning about the human body and how the smallest changes in normal processes can affect the well-being of a patient. Medicine allows me to apply my intellectual curiosity in an active way and use it to treat a patient effectively and efficiently.

For me, the most unforgettable moment in medical school was driving up to the front gates of the VCOM-Carolinas Campus on the first day of orientation and realizing that my dreams of becoming a doctor were finally beginning to become a reality.

 My friends would tell you that I am a compassionate, genuine, responsible, and determined individual.
