Why I love to teach
I completed my internship and residency in Internal Medicine at UCLA in 2017. I am an Associate Program Director for the UCLA Internal Medicine Residency program. Prior to my medical training, I taught high school chemistry and physics in Washington, D.C. This kickstarted my passion for teaching. My other interests include medical education and clinical informatics.
