Episode 81: Doug - premed and biology advisor at Dixie State University

“In the past we’ve been more focused on our tourism and our retirement communities, but the new goal of this community is to be more focused in the sciences and technology.” Nestled in St. George Utah, Dixie State University is a community style campus that welcomes it’s roughly 9000 students with an inviting landscape and walking campus. We talk about how #DSU got its name and why shifting the community focus to the sciences and technology has become important. Finally, we talk about the Dixie Pre Medical Alliance (DPMA) and what opportunities they offer students to assist in preparing for med school, as well as the resources available in the premed advising office.
