Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am passionate about healthcare because I love being able to make a positive impact in patient's lives. 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? A primary care provider should be attentive and available to care for their patient's needs. It is important that the patient is encouraged to play an active role in their care and engaged in shared decision making with their provider. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
