Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. My passion for healthcare was deeply influenced by my family's experiences, particularly my mother's health challenges. Growing up in an area with a poor healthcare system further fueled my desire to make a positive impact in the field. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? Their responsibility is to provide comprehensive, continuous, and coordinated care that addresses the full spectrum of health needs. In terms of physical health, the PCP should focus on preventive care, early diagnosis, management of chronic conditions, and coordination with specialists when necessary. PCP should be proactive in screening for mental health disorders, substance use, and stress-related issues, and either manage these directly or provide appropriate referrals to mental health professionals. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy spending my time exploring nature through hiking, catching up with friends, and listening to audiobooks during my travels. Traveling to new places allows me to experience different cultures, while sunsets provide the perfect backdrop to unwind. I also have a deep appreciation for good food, which adds to the enjoyment of my adventures.
