Profile Elizabeth Wakefield '09

Having participated in Wooster’s Independent Study was truly significant towards choosing and deciding that medicine was the field for me. I was able to network with physicians at the Cleveland Clinic one of whom I worked with to design a study for my thesis. During my senior year, I had to manage my time between being on campus at Wooster participating in my course work and spending time at the Cleveland Clinic working with patients and running my study.
