What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about practicing medicine is the ability to make a tangible difference in patient’s lives through prevention and value-based care. My experience as an RN working inpatient allowed me to see first hand that many admissions could have been prevented had patients received quality care in the outpatient setting. I believe that primary care is the root of our healthcare system and where we can make the biggest impact as providers.
I find value-based medicine deeply rewarding because it allows me to deliver high-quality care tailored to each patient’s needs, emphasizing prevention, holistic well-being, and collaboration across an interdisciplinary team. It is incredibly fulfilling to see the ripple effect of this work—not just improving individual patient outcomes but also strengthening the health of entire communities!
