I am originally from the Bronx, New York and I’m now a first year medical student at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. I advocate for greater diversity within the medical field and a paradigm shift in medical education. I am energized by dance and stories of overcoming struggle, social justice, and Habesha food.
Understanding the origins of words is helpful in medicine. “Genu” and “corpus” are Latin for knee and body, respectively. “Hippos” is Greek for “horse” and “kampos” for “sea monster.” (Can you tell I am in a brain sciences block)?
