I chose family medicine for several reasons, but mainly because I wanted to be able to serve the most vulnerable members of my community, which requires longitudinal primary care that meets community members where they are at. I am very interested in reproductive healthcare and being able to take care of patients prior to, during, and after their pregnancies, as well as their children. LGBT+ populations have poor health outcomes in several areas and family medicine and primary care will be a huge part of improving those outcomes. Providing inclusive care, including transition related care for transgender patients is another reason why I chose family medicine. The breadth of practice as well as the potential relationships with my patients excite me as I look forward to the next three years.
