Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
I am committed to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in my clinical, mentorship and research work. My upbringing in a non-English speaking household has shaped my goals of seeking data that helps seek answers to the unsearched. My current research project aims to investigate the relationship of liver disease and mental illness with socioeconomic factors that are long acknowledged but not substantively addressed. I started an informal mentoring program within my patient panel for those interested in pursuing a career in the higher-paying medical field. At one time I had 11 patients that I reviewed college/certificate program application requirements and reviewing their specific goals career-wise during and outside their visits. I hope to eventually formalize this program in the next decade considering the disparity among groups in higher-earning medical careers amongst certain ethnicities, family education, and poverty levels.
