Rankin Program Experience: 

While I’ve always had a passion for its academic applications, I learned about a new layer of what medicine really is: presence, empathy, and impact. Witnessing moments of raw vulnerability and deep connection between patients and providers reminded me that healing isn’t just physical; it’s also about compassion and trust.

Favorite Rankin Program Moment: 

It was inspirational to see the doctors effortlessly use the da Vinci robotic surgical system and have the opportunity to use the system myself. I’m excited to explore how I can use similar technological innovations in the future.
