The Road to Medical School

Former Anacapa Science Teacher, Ryan Biornstad, came back to visit and discuss the many personalities of the medical field. After seeing some surgeries in high school, Ryan decided that the medical world was the one for him. He claims there is a place for everyone.  As for Ryan, he is hoping to take his adventurous spirit into emergency medicine and is currently applying for residencies around the U.S.

Student response: “When former Anacapa teacher, Ryan Biornstad, came in to talk about his experience becoming a physician, it was very inspiring to me.  Because I am interested in getting a degree in sonography, it pushed me even more towards achieving that goal.  He spoke of how there are so many options in the medical field.  You don’t have to limit yourself to learning one thing.  There are endless possibilities to help someone, which was very meaningful to me.”– L.
