Work History

Rush University Medical Center, RUMC
Chicago , IL
05.2023 - 08.2024
- Directly worked alongside diverse healthcare professionals in various departments during a two-year internship, actively contributing to community service projects focused on eliminating healthcare disparities within the Chicagoland Area.
- During my summer placement in Outpatient Psychiatry in 2023, I had the privilege of observing treatments for severe depression, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Esketamine. This experience exposed me to both clinical interventions and enhanced my knowledge of mental health disparities.
- Assisted in preparing patients for surgery in pre-op, shadowed a variety of specialties inside the operating room, and gained knowledge about patient monitoring/pain control in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit/Recovery during my placement in the preoperative care unit.
- Presented two capstone presentations - one focused on addressing malpractice and advocating for policy reform in the plastic surgery field to enhance patient safety, while the other highlighted systemic flaws and biases in prison healthcare systems, emphasizing the need for necessary reforms that prioritize incarcerated individuals' well-being.
