Why Family Medicine as a Specialty?

I love the versatility that familiy medicine has to offer. The ability to take care of patients from birth to adulthood is rewarding and allows me to practice within a broad-scope. I also love the emphasis on preventative medicine that is fundamental in primary care. This allows me to counsel patients regarding various lifestyle changes and help people live healthier lives.

Being a Family Medicine PCP puts me in a unique position to be a patient’s home base and help educate and empower them to manage their health with me.

I am specifically interested in Lifestyle Medicine and love that I get to offer a preventive approach to children and their parents, adults, and the elderly.

Why MSM for Training? 

I am here for both selfless and selfish reasons :) It is my selfless personal mission to provide holistic care to the underserved and people of color, and Morehouse School of Medicine is a leading institution dedicated to this same mission so I can learn from those who came before me. My selfish reasons are that I wanted to go 3 for 3 in my HBCU education and be around my incredibly supportive family!

I chose Family Medicine because of the breath of learning, practice, and scope. I love that I am blessed to take care of newborns and elders within families and communities. It’s beautiful to be able to deliver care at the bedside, in clinic, at a community health event, on the sidelines of a sporting event, on the streets, and in homes. To be able to respond to needs in so many diverse spaces is the essence of Family Medicine for me.

Why Family Medicine as a Specialty?

I chose family medicine because of how much it has to offer. I couldn't choose between caring for children or adults, so I chose both. Along those same lines, there is not one body system that I value over the other; all systems are working together for the whole and I value them all equally. Family Medicine is the only specialty that allows you to work with any population you desire, while also retaining every piece of knowledge that you've accumulated over the years to make the best decisions for your patients.

I wanted to be apart of an organization that is really making an impact in underserved communities and Morehouse is doing just that.
