Who has been influential to you in your career?
My father, who has always had an interest in medicine, is my voice of encouragement. After immigrating to the U.S. as a young adult, he hoped his children would pursue opportunities that were once unavailable to him.
Describe a time in your life when you experienced, or witnessed, the importance of good quality healthcare.
I witnessed the importance of good quality healthcare during my clinical rotation in an Intensive Care Unit. I learned that prioritizing the patient’s dignity and emotional needs is essential for overall well-being, especially when it comes to palliative and end-of-life care. Good quality healthcare is not just about treating disease—it’s about supporting the patient as a person.
