What do you like about HMSS?

My favorite part of HMSS is the sense of community that it brings, as well as the service projects we carry out. I like being surrounded by people who have similar goals as me who are so supportive and helpful.

Why do you want to go into medicine?

I strive to be a lifelong learner as well as someone who understands and lives what it means to serve the community. Choosing medicine allows me to go beyond empathy by delivering compassionate, patient-centered care to my community.
