“I believe patients heal in the community. I am choosing primary care to care for my neighbors, for older patients, patients with chronic infections like HIV, patients who speak Spanish, patients who are survivors of violence. I am choosing primary care to become part of the long history of community doctors who have quietly ensured that their neighborhood stays healthy.”

"I chose family medicine because I hope to provide full-spectrum care to patients of all ages, and because I believe that understanding a person's familial and community context is key to practicing good medicine. I am most excited to move to Philadelphia and continue to learn from my new patients and colleagues!"

"I chose to enter into primary care because I love forming longitudinal relationships with patients and thinking about chronic disease management for each patient in the setting of their life circumstances. I'm most excited about incorporating community engagement and activism into my care of patients."

"Primary care best represents my ideals as a healer as it will allow me to care for individual patients and entire communities. I look forward to building lifelong kinship with my patients and working toward structural change that will improve the health of my community."

"I'm excited to explore the diverse field of Med-Peds and learn how to take care of patients across the life spectrum."

"In primary care, we have the privilege of getting to know the whole patient over time. We are well-positioned to form intimate, trusting relationships with patients from all walks of life. These relationships not only improve people’s overall health and well-being, but also exemplify the profound beauty of human connection and community care."
