Hi! My name is Rania Alzghoul and i am a graduating senior at Cal Poly Pomona, pursuing a path towards medical school. As a first-generation college student, I have overcome early academic challenges and developed a strong upward academic trend through discipline and resilience. Following graduation, I will be pursuing a Master’s degree at California University of Science and Medicine to further strengthen my academic foundation and prepare for medical school. My experiences working as a phlebotomy technician in diverse clinical settings, along with volunteering in a pain management clinic, have strengthened my passion for patient care, especially for underserved communities. I am committed to becoming a physician who not only provides care, but advocates for health equity and access for all.
