Future Physician sees importance of Engineering
Suruchi Thakore can envision from an engineer's viewpoint how a newborn infant's cardiovascular system changes the moment its umbilical cord is cut.
But she wants to play a real-life role in the process after she graduates from medical school -- as a pediatric cardiologist.
Her interests in engineering, technology and medicine fit perfectly with programs that the Illinois Institute of Technology, the University of Illinois at Chicago and other schools nationwide offer -- an honors program that enables students to earn an undergraduate degree in engineering, science or a technical field, and be guaranteed a place in medical school.
