When I was a medical student, I developed a love of health policy and advocacy. It was an unexpected trajectory for me, but now I can’t see myself doing anything else within the realm of my career as a family medicine physician. The majority of what I initially learned, however, I learned on my own. As my third year rolled into my fourth year, I learned more about the opportunities available for me to pursue that passion for health policy. Most of those opportunities came from the AOA.
