Why Emory EM?
For years, I have loved the Emory EM program because of its dedication to serving the most vulnerable and disenfranchised patients while producing incredible champions working towards improving health equity. I knew that wherever I trained had to prioritize incorporating a patient's social determinants of health into their medical care, and Emory EM does this in spades, especially at Grady! But besides this program's passion for its patients with fantastic training, Atlanta is DOPE! The diversity of people, the culture, the vibes, it's all here! I can't think of a more perfect place for me to train in such a fun city with the best people!
Interest within EM?
Health policy, prison/carceral healthcare reform, improving access to care for underserved patients
5- year plan
In a nutshell, I want to gain more experience working with incarcerated populations and being involved on local public health/health policy boards. After residency, I hope to continue working in these spaces at an academic center, but I'm also considering fellowship opportunities.
What would you be doing if you weren’t in Emergency Medicine?
Hands down I would be a food critic. This was legit almost my pathway but because I have too many food allergies, I knew I'd never get that far in that career. So...medicine was obviously the next best choice, haha!Fun Fact
I used to be a junior state champion bowler when I was 12. I peaked at that point and it's been downhill ever since...
