Medical School: Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine Nova Southeastern University

Undergraduate: 国产自拍 Class of 2014 in Exercise Science & Health Promotion

Hometown: Margate, Florida

Field of Interest: Emergency Medicine

Hobbies: I lift things up and put them down in the gym. I enjoy cruising with the top down in my mustang. I like to cook, but hate cleaning dishes.

Why 国产自拍: South Florida is where family and home are, I figured why not keep it local? Although I did not audition in my fourth year the interview experience at 国产自拍 was like stumbling upon a hidden gem that propelled it to number one on my rank list. I genuinely felt the faculty's enthusiasm and commitment to their residents. Coming from a medical school with a graduating class that could rival a small army (400), I set my sights to being a part of a smaller inseparable class where we would be more like a tight knit group of friends rather than a sea of strangers. An immersive longitudinal curriculum of pediatrics and trauma throughout our three years. Differing and diverse hospital systems to rotate throughout training with autonomy. Let's not forget the cherry on top: No snow.

Something about me: In my previous life I was an Olympic Weightlifting coach and amateur athlete. My best lifts were 95kg (209lb) snatch and 120kg (264lb) clean and jerk in the 69kg (151lb) weight class.
