I chose a career in family medicine because it allows me to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. I am also able to educate patients on preventive care and build relationships across the lifespan. By using an evidence-based approach and empowering patients to be involved in their healthcare decisions, my patients and I develop an interactive plan of care tailored to their needs.
