Introduction
In this presentation, I hope to explore the options I am currently weighing for graduate school programs that I have been accepted to for this August. I hope that organizing this information
will aid me in making a decision on which graduate program to attend. I will explore the requirements for medical school following the completion of my graduate program. Finally, I will provide some
information about the career I hope to pursue upon the completion of medical school.

Conclusion
Through this presentation, I feel as though I have gained and organized knowledge about the path that my future might take. I was able to find and organize information about the graduate programs I
have been accepted to, which will help me make a decision about what program to choose. I found information on what medical schools
require and entail, and also found the requirements and job description for a surgeon, a career I hope to achieve one day. I feel
that through this research I was able to see that my graduate programs all have many different strengths that will prepare me for acceptance into medical school. I also was able to look at a career as a surgeon and see that I think my preparation and personality makes
it a good fit for my future career.
