What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most is working with the families and the youth, trying to get them back home and out of the system. A lot of bad things have happened to these poor kids, and we can only do so much, but we're planting seeds. Sometimes the youth will come back and let us know they wish they would have listened back then, or it took them this long, but they get it now. It's moments like those that keep me coming back to work. The boys I've worked with have impacted my life and continue to do so every day. The boys are resilient having gone through so much tragedy, loss, and other trauma at such young ages. I never thought I'd work with kids, but it's been an amazing and fulfilling experience! I work with youth ages 11-17 who were brought to Rawhide for many different reasons, some being criminal history, loss of guardianship, foster care, or due to lack of supportive families. Rawhide works closely with counties, social workers, families, and other assets to ensure the best quality of care for the youth we serve. Rawhide has a phenomenal therapist team. The team is very supportive of each other and work collaboratively to ensure quality of care and ensure we are providing the highest level of treatment and care.
