I'm currently an MS1 at SUNY Downstate Medical School. I graduated in June 2010 from UCLA and received an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry.
I have been extremely blessed to grow up in a loving Christian family. I was saved at a very young age, but I am reminded time and time again of my need for Christ and salvation from my sins through Him.
I decided to blog about my medical education career in light of being a Christian. I’ve been asked numerous times by both guys and girls about whether or not it’s a good decision to go into medicine. Also, as a medical student now, I come across decisions every day that I need to either make now or think and pray about for the future. And with these decisions, I need to constantly make sure that I thinking clearly about them through the lens that is scripture.
With that, I hope that sharing some of my daily thoughts and experiences can be helpful to anyone who is either considering pursuing a medical career or is currently in school for a healthcare related career and is interested in my thoughts as a Christian medical student.
It is not only through my future career as a doctor that I must use for God’s glory, but also each and every day that I spend pursuing that career.
james 4:13-15
“Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.’ Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.’”
