Why Emory EM?
I worked in a non-profit before medical school where I learned how socioeconomic factors negatively impact all facets of people's lives including their health. Training at Emory with the patient population that is underserved gives me the opportunity to continue serving this population and keep me engaged so I never forget why I decided to become a physician. When I interviewed, I knew that this will be the place where I can be that physician that knows how to not only take care of the patient's health concerns but sees beyond that and works to change systems that lead to inequity in healthcare. Grady is my teacher and my family.
Interest within EM?
Global Health, Social EM, and Ultrasound
5- year plan
I hope to learn everything I can in the next few years and work in a community that is underserved post-residency. I would love to take some of my knowledge back to Kenya where I am from through global health. An Ultrasound fellowship might help me accomplish more in global health, so I am highly considering that
What would you be doing if you weren’t in Emergency Medicine?
