The beginning of medical school came with a couple of pre-clinical years, a lot of lectures, and learning all you need to know about being a doctor, how to take a patient’s history, etc. After that, having direct exposure to clinicals was an opportunity of a lifetime and one she would be able to look forward to for the rest of her life.
As a fourth-year medical student, Confroy is currently preparing to apply for a residency program, where she will get the chance to specialize and decide exactly what kind of doctor she wants to be.
“It is a pretty stressful time,” she said. “We spent the last three years learning about all the different types of illnesses and all the different systems of the body, but now it’s time to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life in medicine.”
Although she is still unsure, Confroy has great interest in orthopedic surgery or primary care sports medicine. These are both relatively engaged with athletes, so she hopes to combine her love for both medicine and sports in order to relate more to future patients and take care of them more effectively, having been through it all herself.
The proud Terp emphasizes how important it is to be appreciative of the people around you and the support that’s provided for Maryland student-athletes by Terrapin Club members, administration, and staff.
“My biggest takeaway, having gone through it myself at Maryland, is that you are more than your tests scores, grades, and statlines, you are your individual self; be your best self by investing in others around you and getting to know the people that are in your life at Maryland so that you can continue those relationships beyond.”
