Why Morningside

“Morningside truly cultivates their mindset of "Experience matters." Throughout my time at Morningside, I have been able to truly explore what I wanted to do for the rest of my life as I transition out of college and into the 'real world.' I was able to land an internship at UnityPoint Health St. Luke's hospital in Sioux City and truly find my passion for pediatric medicine that will carry me through the rest of my undergraduate experience at Morningside College, and push me to my future of medical school and pediatrics!"
