I'm currently working in a community that is in dire need of medical attention. My specialization, pulmonary hypertension, has a very complex design and the treatment provided can be prohibitively expensive and typically necessitates the involvement of cardiologists, rheumatologists, and other specialists. My primary goal right now is to supply this complex treatment for my community. I hope to play an instrumental role in spreading access to the treatment of this disease both locally and in far-off communities as well.
