Joseph Palmeri of Tulsa: Becoming Involved With Your University

Joseph Palmeri of Tulsa, a talented and well-educated anesthesiologist, serves his community of Tulsa, Oklahoma with passion and technical skill. He received his Bachelor degree from Oklahoma State University before going on to complete Medical School at the University of Oklahoma. He completed his anesthesiology residency at New York University in 2012, where he was the Chief Resident. He believes that being involved with your undergraduate university is an often overlooked opportunity to put yourself in a better position to pursue the career of your dreams.

While a student at Oklahoma State University, Joseph Palmeri of Tulsa worked in the Student Union as a tutor for other students in chemistry, physics, and biology. He worked at St. John's Hospital over two summers as a nurse assistant in the operating room. Between his time at Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma, he taught Kaplan preparation courses to prospective medical, dentist, and pharmacy students.

One way to become involved with your university, says Joseph Palmeri of Tulsa, is to actively engage your professors with questions. Your professors will appreciate the passion you display for their studies and do their best to use their resources to your fullest advantage. Professors are a valuable way to gain information regarding both prerequisite material and the nature of your career path. “I would not be in the position I am in today if I did not view my professors as a valuable resource,” says Joseph Palmeri of Tulsa.
