Joshua graduated cum laude from the College of William and Mary with a bachelor’s degree in government. As an undergraduate he was a political editorialist for the Flat Hat newspaper; an emergency room volunteer, neurology researcher, and pharmacy volunteer at Cleveland Clinic Hospital; and a tutor for Rita Welsh Adult Literacy Program. Joshua is inspired to become a physician because of his grandfather, a surgeon in the Pacific Theater during the Second World War. He says he chose the FSU College of Medicine because he enjoys the sense of community here. “All the students are very helpful and want to see each other succeed.” In addition, Joshua noted that the faculty are very understanding and seem to have a real passion for medicine.
