Briana Krewson '17 discovered her keen interests in medicine and sustainability measures as a Biological Foundations-Neuroscience major at F&M. After completing a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship in Poland, she pivoted to pursuing a career as a doctor. She’s currently a third-year medical student at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is in the process of deciding which specialty she wants to pursue for her residency as she works through her clinical rotations.

We asked her to talk about her career path five years out of College, how her classroom and extracurricular experiences shaped her evolving bedside manner, and why the willingness to say 'yes' to opportunities at F&M and beyond have been a difference-maker in her life.

F&M: How has your liberal arts education prepared you for what you are currently doing?

Briana: My liberal arts education from F&M has been fundamental in how I relate to my patients; my ease in communicating with my patients can be partially attributed to my training at F&M, where I learned how to be clear, direct, and concise while being compassionate and empathetic.

One of my two gap years between graduating from F&M and starting medical school was spent living abroad in Poland as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant. I worked as a tutor at the F&M Writing Center, which was by far one of my favorite experiences during my time in Lancaster. That training prepared me for my role as an English teacher at a Polish university.

F&M: What brief advice would you give an admitted student who is considering attending F&M?

Briana: My advice to admitted students considering attending F&M is to take advantage of opportunities, to always say 'yes' (within healthy limits). The more you engage with your community, the more you’ll get out of your experience, no matter what phase of life you’re in. F&M brought me some of my closest friends and exposed me to passions that I didn’t even know I had. I’m forever grateful that I took a 'leap of faith' in myself, that I always tried, and that I always said 'yes!'
