Passionate About:

I am very passionate about accomplishing my goal of becoming a health care practitioner, and envision myself contributing to diminish health care disparities. One of the major challenges developing countries encounter is the lack of dependable information for making decisions concerning health planning and resource distribution. In the United States we have different resources to educate ourselves on the different illnesses prevalent in our communities. As a future physician, I want to coordinate health fairs that allocate resources on how to apply preventive medicine. I am also very passionate in successfully providing free examinations that will diagnose illnesses, such as hypertension, diabetes, some forms of cancer and other illnesses that are believed to be “uncommon” in small towns and villages, that will otherwise go overlooked. In doing so, I will make a contribution in altering or modifying health care disparities present globally.
