For Lindsey Van Duyn, VCOM–Carolinas ‘15, the journey to medicine began in rural Iowa—but clarity came later. 

After graduating from the University of Central Florida, she explored different jobs while medicine lingered quietly in the background. It wasn’t until she volunteered at the Mayo Clinic that everything aligned. There, she witnessed the powerful combination of scientific rigor, research, and patient care.
