Hi everyone,
My name is Michelle Kim and I'm from Chantilly (Northern) VA. I graduated from American University in 2014, and spent several years working in different fields of healthcare (chiropractics, emergency department, and oral maxillofacial surgery practices). I initially wanted to major in international relations/public policy, but I changed my major last minute to pre-med. I'm really excited for this course because I think it encompasses important aspects of medicine within the context of other cultures and countries. I had the opportunity to travel on a medical missions trip to Tegucigalpa in 2012, and I was completely enamored. I can't wait to participate in another medical missions trip within the next year or two, but this time, as a medical student!
