What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I really love most about being a social worker is being able to help people move past somewhere that they're stuck in their life and to become successful - whatever that might mean to them. I think it's incredibly rewarding to meet people where they are and support them in defining and achieving their own version of success. Every person's journey is different, and being able to walk alongside them during that process and witness their growth is what keeps me passionate about this work.
