What Your Profession Brings to the Team:
The physician is the point of contact for coordinating care across disciplines and ensuring effective communication and collaboration. The physician also brings clinical skills, expertise, and reasoning to guide the team’s decision making process.

Why You Joined HPSLC:
I was motivated to join HPSLC after working in pediatric oncology before starting medical school, where I saw team dynamics at play and how important inter-professionalism is to patient care and provider well-being. I also enjoyed meeting students in other fields through HPSLC last year, and I was excited to take part in planning those events for new students this year.

Your Superpower:
Thinking outside of the box!
