Meet Christy Lee Carpenter! Christy is one of our awesome new members here at UNLV SOM. She was born in Tucson, AZ, raised here in Henderson, NV, and attended USC for her undergraduate degree. Christy joined PhiDE because she wanted to be a part of an organization where she could make long lasting friendships while being involved in fun ways to serve the community! She states, “ I was sold when there were events like wine and cheese nights, as well as fundraisers for the CMN hospital here in Las Vegas.” Christy loves having a big (Kelsey Kincaid), because she always encourages her before every test and showers her with her favorite goodies like tea and essential oils. She also enjoys how staying late for PhiDE meetings allows her to socialize with her classmates while working towards our chapter’s goals. When Christy has spare time, she enjoys traveling and is always down to go to an amusement park or a vineyard. She also likes relaxing at home with her family, friends, and dog while playing board games and watching movies. Christy is interested in OB/GYN and ophthalmology, but she is open to see what other specialties interest her throughout med school. Christy states, “I am grateful to be a part of PhiDE with all of the amazing people I’ve met so far! I love to talk, so anyone feel free to call, text, or start a conversation anytime you see me!” Thank you for being a part of our Epsilon Nu family, Christy!

Meet Johnnie Maurice Woodson III! He is currently a third year medical student at UNLV SOM. Johnnie was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. Before going back to Las Vegas for medical school, he studied biochemistry at Rice University in Houston, Texas. Johnnie has been a PhiDE member for 3 years now. He was initially drawn to the family vibe of PhiDE and the friendliness of our members has kept him involved in the organization! Since becoming a member, he feels that he has greatly benefitted from the video calls from students at other medical schools. As a member of UNLV SOM’s charter class, PhiDE has allowed him to connect with upperclassmen at other schools that he can turn to for advice. Johnnie enjoys biking, playing the ukulele, watching movies, and nerding out on comic books, super heroes, cartoons, and video games in his free time! He is also a big fan of Spotify. Someday, he hopes to pursue a career in either Emergency Medicine or Neurology. Thank you for being a part of our Epsilon Nu family, Johnnie!

Our Big/Little Reveal was a success! Third and second year medical students were carefully matched with first years, and matches were revealed with balloons!

Meet Christian Borashan! He is currently a second year medical student here at UNLV SOM. Christian was born in Las Vegas, NV and went to UNLV for his undergraduate studies. He has been a PhiDE member at large for one year and joined PhiDE because he states that he felt drawn to our members from the class of 2021. Christian saw that they were committed to success in medical school and were also very sociable and welcoming, which are the kind of people he wanted to surround himself with. Christian states, “PhiDE has provided me with an international network of peers who understand the hardships of medical school as well as a family of fratters who support one another in professional and personal endeavors”. Outside of school, Christian loves going to concerts, hiking, and travelling to new places! He is currently undecided about his specialty. Christian remembers his favorite PhiDE memory as being able to travel to Chicago with his peers in January of 2019 for the Regional Leadership Conference and discover what -20 F weather feels like. Our fingers and toes remember that weather too, Christian… You’re not alone. Thank you for being a part of our Epsilon Nu family, Christian!
