Caroline is a second-year graduate student at The Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC), obtaining her Masters in Physician Assistant Practice. Caroline explains “limited resources, access, and provider awareness of social issues have all unintentionally resulted in many communities not receiving the healthcare services they need. I seek to combat this with a personal demonstration of provider awareness and care for marginalized communities.”
Ambitious graduate student hoping to make a difference in the queer community while promoting equality and affordable health care to those less fortunate. I’m currently enrolled in a masters graduate program to become a physician assistant with goals of being an advocate and ally to LGBTQ+.
I’m a Philadelphia native, an anime enthusiast, an avid reader, and a poet. I am a first year physician assistant student at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. My main life goal is to impact others. I want my legacy to be based around who I was able to provide kindness, add joy, and inspire others to dream big. My plan after grad school is to work in primary care, more specifically urban communities, where minorities often struggle to receive adequate healthcare from providers who see their humanity.
I’m Jay, a dedicated and aspiring PA student deeply committed to mentorship, medicine, and mindfulness. Through my journey from MA to PA student, I have discovered a profound passion for guiding and empowering others on their own paths to success. My passion for medicine was ignited through an accumulation of clinical experiences working as an MA. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to explore my specific clinical interests, fully aware that they will evolve as I gain invaluable hands-on experience as a PA student.
I am a recent first-generation graduate from the University of Florida. One of the most significant challenges I have encountered as a student has been to break the limitations that society has placed upon me because of my race, sex, and nationality. While overcoming these obstacles, I have confirmed my love for medicine. Serving underprivileged populations is one of my priorities. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my dog, weightlifting and traveling. I recently traveled to Italy for the first time. I am naturally curious and creative and use my hobbies as an outlet for mental health.
