“Growing up in a cosmopolitan city, I was exposed to several cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic strata. People may have different views and beliefs, but deep inside they are all human. To me a patient is always a person first. I take the extra effort to know the person more individually and treat the illness and the person as a whole.”

Why I Chose Health Care
As a high school student in eleventh and twelfth grades, I volunteered to gather health statistics data for the city of Bombay, India. This provided me with an exceptional insight to the health care needs and deficiencies of the urban poor. The experience created a heightened awareness and inspired me to seek a career in the medical field.
