I love practicing medicine because I get to make a profound impact on my patient's lives. My medical training gives me the opportunity to diagnose and treat disease which can improve quality of life. But what makes internal medicine so great for me is that I get to know my patients over years of regular visits - to learn about them as individuals and to watch them live healthy lives.

I realized with OBGYN there was so much diversity in it. You have primary care where you're seeing patients year-in and year-out. You have surgery with gynecologic surgery, hysterectomies, ablations and all kinds of other things. You have obstetrics where you're caring for a pregnant mom, deliveries, and postpartum care and that diversity is what drew me to the field.
