Hey Class of 2029, welcome to RWJMS! My name is Surya Venkatraman, and I have the amazing opportunity to be one of your Orientation Leaders! I’m super excited to introduce you guys to our school and kickstart your medical school journey. I graduated from Rutgers University in 2020 with a B.A. in Biological Sciences. Before I joined RWJMS, I was a high school biology teacher in Camden, NJ. Some of the activities I’m involved with on Campus are HIPHOP Promise Clinic, American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI), and BLAST. Outside of school, I love hanging out with my friends, traveling, swimming, playing tennis, going to the beach, and watching sports (Go Birds 
). Congrats again and I look forward to meeting you all soon!
