Additionally, I knew I wanted to be in a field that is always advancing and that will push me to my limits. These clinical experiences, in combination with research, teaching, and mentoring, made me recognize my passion for academic medicine. The ability to advocate, serve and treat patients who feel unseen and unheard is one of the aspects of medicine that excites me the most. Time and time again, I came across patients like my parents who did not have access to the care they needed because of language barriers in clinical settings. It wasn't until I was an undergraduate, when I started volunteering at NYC hospitals, that I understood the weight of these experiences. As a child, I thought helping my parents during a time of need was the coolest thing ever. Q: What drew you to this particular health field?Ī: My initial interest in medicine sprang from my experiences translating for my immigrant parents during their medical appointments. Major: Biology and Interdisciplinary Studies
