Taking My First PALTC Steps

There is a sense of completeness in caring for older adults. I get to help them later in life, just like they helped me growing up. My grandparents and I lived under one roof for the first 18 years of my life. As I helped them with minor tasks around the house and grew comfortable caring for older adults, my comfort zone in medicine unconsciously began to take shape. It was inevitable that someday I would pursue becoming a geriatrician. Eastern Virginia Medical School allowed me to grow through a combined program in internal medicine and geriatrics.
