As part of their training, Tulane University medical students are required to work with blood and other bodily fluids.

The university ensures that all students are appropriately trained in handling and disposing of these materials safely and responsibly.

"I have never been a queasy individual, and I fully understand the types of cases I will see in my career as a physician. Currently, I work part-time at our local drop-in clinic and have seen a wide range of situations involving blood and such. I don't think about the gore but more about the fact that it's a human being who needs my help. I believe this mentality will get me through any gruesome or undesirable situation."
