About
My name is Alice Symington and I am currently a rising senior at the University of Vermont. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science. My original goal was to work towards becoming a veterinarian however, I quickly discovered that my interests were better suited to the human health side and am now working towards applying to medical school. I have a huge interest in both primary care and specialist training and am exciting about exploring all my options in medical school.
