Why did you choose the MSD program? 

I chose the MSD program after studying healthcare and healing environments with Jamil during the spring semester of my senior year. My group's focus was emergency departments and this particular niche really interested me. I wanted to further my education and learn as much as I can about healthcare and healing environments.



What is the best aspect of the MSD program?

The best aspect of the MSD program is learning from professionals who have practiced or are practicing in the healthcare field. They bring a real world perspective to healthcare architecture/design, and I really enjoy hearing about the business aspects of design and the design process as a whole.
