Medical Student, Morehouse School of Medicine – Atlanta, GA

2018 Major: Economics

How has being an Economics graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"The economics degree taught me how to approach the question of how might people make decisions given that they have limited resources. I face this question in Healthcare as it is very relevant to the patient's decision making processes in Healthcare."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Economics programs? 

"My advice is to think outside the box! An econ degree does not limit yourself to a specific industry or type of job position as the lessons learned from Econ are universally applicable."
