Primary Care Provider
I combine conventional and integrative methods of preventative medicine to care for patients.
When it comes to duties, work days are relatively the same. Although, the patients who visit may vary. I get to know my patients the day I meet them and then in every follow-up visit. I do my best to treat them as a whole, focusing on the cough they came in for but also asking them how they’re doing and if anything else is going on. I feel like every day is different because no one person is alike.
Here's the first step for everyone
You can major in anything you want, you just have to have the pre-med classes. There might be something more interesting that you have a better aptitude for. Go with your heart. There are various ways of getting a career in medicine. If you change your mind along the way, there are other careers that are affiliated. We need physicians because there’s a lack of primary care today. If somebody really has a passion for it, then they can do it.
