 ^{Zachary Rose,  MD}

^{Place of birth:
Clearwater, Florida} 

^{Where you grew up:
Both coasts, son of a Coast Guard pilot, lived all over Florida as well as California, Alaska and Seattle spending my summers on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Some of my friends would say I was raised by dolphins but I do in fact have parents.} 

^{College: UNC Wilmington}

^{Major(s) in College:
Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology}

^{Goals (medical school and beyond): To travel to every continent (Antarctica will be a worth-while challenge), swim/boat in every ocean, see as many wonders of the world as possible, and meet as many interesting people as time will allow.}
 

^{Personal Philosophy on life and/or medicine: IBM motto via my Grandfather: THINK – it’s come in handy a time or two. If something is worth doing then it is worth doing well – I seek excellence in all that I do, even if it doesn’t appear so or turn out as I hope.  I believe that people should listen more than they talk and that the smile is one of the most underutilized communication tools we have.}

^{Favorite quote: “Never let school interfere with your education.”}
