I was very fortunate to have a wonderful high school education where I could explore different interests. That allowed me to be successful in applying to Harvard for undergraduate study, and I stayed there to complete my master’s degree. I considered multiple medical schools, but I really loved Yale because of its focus on lifelong education. There isn’t the hyper-competitiveness there that exists in a lot of medical schools. It’s a more collaborative environment, and there’s a recognition that being a physician is a lifelong education process. There were only 100 people in my class, so I really got to know my peers and the faculty. I really enjoyed it.
