Benchtop to Bedside

This section is a personal journey through the lessons, challenges, and growth that come with pursuing a career in medicine and becoming a changemaker in healthcare. Here, I share my reflections on the experiences that shape my path to becoming a doctor—whether it’s through clinical shadowing, research, community involvement, or leadership development. From learning the importance of empathy in patient care to discovering the personal qualities that contribute to effective leadership, this space offers a candid look at my ongoing evolution as a student, future physician, and advocate for positive change in healthcare. It’s about learning not just from successes, but from setbacks, and embracing the journey of becoming the kind of doctor who can make a meaningful impact on both patients and communities.
