Why Family Medicine as a Specialty?

I chose family because it was my favorite rotation and it aligned with my values and interests. I love the ability to develop strong relationships with patients overtime. I'm also interested in public health with a focus on the social determinants of health and felt that family medicine was the specialty that best allowed me to work with the community and ideally affect positive change at both the individual and population level.

---

Why MSM for your Training?

I chose Morehouse because it was the best fit for me. I was looking for a program with a supportive environment and one that emphasized social justice in medicine. Morehouse was my very first interview, and I kept comparing my other interviews to it. I could tell by all the lighthearted joking at my interview dinner that the residents had a family-like dynamic that was fun and supportive. And on my interview day, the faculty repeatedly stressed their mission to promote health equity. All of this, combined with the opportunity to train at a historically Black program in my hometown? I couldn't pass that up.

Why Family Medicine as a Specialty?

I became interested in Family Medicine during my 3rd year rotation. I had a glimpse into managing chronic conditions and fostering lifelong patient-physician relationships. Truly, for the first time, I did not feel like I was working. My preceptor enabled me to directly counsel patients on various psychosocial issues, educate them on lifestyle changes, and promote healthy families. The constant variety of chief complaints and the ability to connect with different families provided me with immense fulfillment and satisfaction. Also, the diverse patient experiences motivated me to strengthen my knowledge in preventative medicine. I aspire to be a family physician who promotes care to patients throughout their lifespan, helps increase access to the underserved, and becomes one of the leaders in the creation of health equity for all populations 

---

Why MSM for Training?

I chose Morehouse because of their strong ties to Atlanta and surrounding communities, diverse patient populations, and plentiful service and learning opportunities. Morehouse Family Medicine not only equips you to care for underserved communities but instills a relentless passion for the welfare of others. The opportunity for continuity of care through the Lee Street Family Medicine Clinic is unmatched!  Lastly, I have been able to develop great relationships with my co-interns and upper-level residents.

Hobbies/Interests:

I enjoy walking along nature trails like Sope Creek, Atlanta Beltline Westside, and Silver Comet Trail.

Lastly, with time permitting, I really enjoy creating at home do-it-yourself projects. 🎙🤿🏞

I chose Family Medicine because of the connection to patients and continuity of care.

Why Family Medicine as a Specialty?

Before medical school, I didn’t know a lot about Family Medicine. I knew I was very interested in Internal Medicine and OBGYN, but couldn’t figure out which one I had to “give up”. First year, I saw an interest meeting called “Family Medicine Obstetrics” and thought “what could it hurt”. I’ve been a Family Medicine radical ever since!

---

Why MSM for Training?

I chose Morehouse (and thank God they chose me too) because it truly feels like “home”. Morehouse is not only a program that will highly train me in the fundamentals of medicine, but also a place I envision myself being supported, growing, and actualizing my full potential. It is a place that is not only rigorous but filled with purpose and mission. Morehouse Family Medicine Residency is truly a place that encompasses the essence of the type of physician I hope to be. I am beyond honored to be part of this family

Why Family Medicine as a Specialty?

Family medicine has a little bit of everything, and the possibilities of a career path are endless. Our field is vital to everyone since we all need primary care providers. I love that the majority of family medicine providers absolutely love what they do. That speaks volumes to the discipline but also to the ability to reinvent yourself a professional because of our diverse training as well. I am so grateful I followed my heart and matched into Family Medicine. 

---

Why MSM for Training?

When searching for a good fit for a residency program, I was looking for a place that trained excellent physicians, but also trained on the complexities that contribute to health disparities and the challenges that plague our healthcare system.

Why Family Medicine as a Specialty?

The real question is why not Family Medicine? I chose Family Medicine after going on a medical mission trip to Lima, Peru in 2014. It was there I realized that I didn’t want to be limited to who I provided care to, especially if I wanted to do international work in the future. For this, FM was the perfect specialty for me because of the opportunity to provide multi-generational care to a diverse patient population. I also like the preventative medicine aspect of FM, and being able to educate my patients and prevent medical diseases and complications. Lastly, there are many avenues I can take in FM, allowing for variety not only in the workplace but skill sets. 

---

Why MSM for Training?

I chose MSM for 2 reasons! 1) The mission— I value MSM’s emphasis of serving the  underserved. I believe it’s populations like these that’s often gets overlooked. I know MSM will provide me with the tools necessary to address and therefore improve health disparities in my community. 2)The people—interview day/meet and greets/ second looks everyone was just really nice and relatable in some way. I laughed the most with the residents at MSM, and knew that they were colleagues that I would enjoy working with one day. I’m about a month into residency, and I can truly say I feel supported and I love it here!

Why Family Medicine as a Specialty?

Family Medicine is one of med schools best kept secrets. The variety and autonomy that I have within family medicine is part of what attracted me to the specialty. Not only do I get to be involved in women's health, pediatrics, etc. But I can continue to reshape my career if I desire to. I can be a hospitalist, work in outpatient, run an urgent care, a rehab facility, and so much more. As a Primary Care Physician, I can tackle the disparities that aligned me with medicine in the first place. Family Medicine is the glue that holds it all together and I am empowered by the diversity in my field.

I chose Morehouse School of Medicine because I truly believed the training I would receive here would be unmatched.
