Overview
overview
- After great success in medical school and an OBGYN internship in Japan, I came to United States for my residency and fellowship at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, in hopes of seeking more opportunities to develop my research career. Curiosity has always been one of my strengths. When I see patients, I ask incisive clinical questions and always review the latest literature. My quest to find answers to complex questions often points me to research ideas of my own, and I have successfully published multiple papers in peer-reviewed journals. I joined Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2020.
