Stephanie Li – Testimony

“Before getting accepted to and attending SPUUR, I knew very little about benign urology. I went into college wanting to be a medical doctor studying the “cool” sciences, such as neurology or cancer biology. SPUUR broadened my horizons and led me to where I am today. Through working with Dr. William Ricke during the summer and into the school year, I gained invaluable experience as an undergraduate researcher. I learned many laboratory techniques, including tissue staining and animal handling. I also met my current PI at Duke University through the CAIRIBU annual meeting, in which I continued to conduct research in the field of benign urology. I strongly recommend this program to any undergraduate students that are interested in pursuing medicine/research, one thing I know for sure is that Dr. Penniston and Dr. Vezina will always look out for your success!”
