WCPO 9 News recently featured UC Clermont student Spencer Singh, who shared how a motorcycle accident changed his course from a rising finance career to an aspiring neurosurgeon.
The accident left Singh with multiple fractures of his spine, sternum, clavicle and shoulder. Through a months-long rehabilitation process, Singh was inspired by the neurosurgeons who saved his life - and reconsidered his own path.
"I've always been around health care and realized I wanted to work with my hands, not sit behind a desk," said Singh, whose father is a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist, and mother a former emergency responder. "After my accident, I wanted to help others the way I'd been helped."
Singh left banking in January 2022 with plans to return to college to earn the necessary pre-requisites he needed to apply to medical school. A 2014 Turpin High School graduate who wanted to move closer to home, fortunately Singh didn't need to look too far - the University of Cincinnati Clermont College in Batavia offered exactly the type of personalized environment he was looking for as a second-time student.
