4. “When in medical school, I
became involved in the care of
a young woman hospitalized
with breast cancer. This
experience led me to
understand the depth of
relationships possible between
patients, their families, and their
physicians. The combination of
scientific stimulation and
progress with human interaction
is what attracts me to this field.”
