My Discipline

The Major

Students in the pre-physiology department learn how to differentiate, classify, and identify the structures and functions of the human body. People in this program, because the "pre" identifies it as a preparatory study, usually go on to go to medical school. From there, physicians of all practices emerge. I was drawn to this field because I want to be a surgeon, and understanding physiology is a helpful way to prepare myself for the MCAT and medical school.

The Professionals

In general, I do not really have any favorite surgeons, so I looked up a list of the "best surgeons" in America and picked three with specialties in cardiothoracics. Nabil Munfakh, Jennifer Lawton, and Hersh Maniar  are cardiac surgeons who all work at hospitals in St. Louis, Missouri.

The Journals

Because there are so many different types of surgery, it is hard to narrow down the three "best" journals. Three diverse surgery journals are The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Wound Repair and Regeneration, and the Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques. All three journals have physical publications and websites.
