Gateways Program

What have you done since graduating from Gateways and what are your plans next year? 

 Since graduating from Gateways, I have begun medical school and I look forward to continuing that pursuit next year. 

How did Gateways prepare you for your future?

 The art of healing through medicine entails much more than diagnosis and prescription. Human health is influenced by myriad emotional, spiritual, social, economic, and other environmental variables. Our respected faculty at Gateways helped us to understand these complexities both academically and practically through our work at community health centers. Those opportunities have empowered me to engage with my patients more holistically and to help them work comprehensively at improving their sense of wellness. 

What advice do you have for the current/future students of Gateways?

 Live with purpose; always understand why you are doing what you are doing.
Prioritize self-care. We must establish health within ourselves in order to share it with others. 
The right thing to do is always the right thing to do.
The only treatment effective for 100% of patients is kindness.
