Hello everyone! I am an infantry officer looking back into medicine. I took advice from a MD mentor to try different careers before finalizing on medicine (wasn't sure during college). I tried to pursue a few different passions outside sciences that would be challenging -- law enforcement and military, but medicine always lures me back in! As many can agree, nothing beats the feeling of happiness when discharging COVID(+) pts that have been hospitalized for months! I want to continue my education and being a leader.
