I believe the future of health care will require a physician to navigate the technical and clinical sides of medicine. While in the program, the experience opened my mind to the many possibilities of bridging the two fields. I look forward to using my dual degree, so that I can contribute to finding solutions to tomorrow’s medical challenges.
