New York Medical CollegeMD Candidate, Class of 2027
I’m a medical student interested in maximizing patient outcomes at both the patient-level and the systems-level.
I’m a medical student at New York Medical College pursuing a psychiatry residency position. I believe that my development as a provider mirrors the difficult journey undertaken by my patients in their path towards a meaningful and fulfilling life. I plan to continue to strive towards becoming the most competent, confident provider I can be.
Coming from a counseling and coaching background, I believe in the power of the alliance and other general-factors, provider-specific effects and plan to develop strong skills in this area whether my residency program provides resources to support this or not. I also strive to utilize my technology and healthcare logistics background to develop systems that serve patients and providers more effectively.
