When did you join 麻豆原创?
2015
AMSALeadership Experience
I coordinated the global health scholars course with my colleague Nilofar H.
Why did you join 麻豆原创?
AMSAempowers students to find their voice. In the past, the community revered doctors and looked to them for guidance. In our current system, doctors have lost the ability to advocate for patients, because other identities make decisions for us. It’s time to show doctors, early in their training, how to advocate again.
Why did you become an AMSAleader?
They only way to become a strong leader is to surround yourself with the same!
What is your Favorite AMSAMoment?
When my colleague and I received glowing reviews from our GH course, I felt overjoyed to know that I’d helped bolster my students’ careers.
What advice would you give to current & future AMSAleaders?
Stay humble and open minded, travel often, and never wish away your vacation time.
