WHY HEALTH CARE: Coming out of becoming a physician seemed like a great opportunitty to apply principles of sciencde and public health to improve the lives of individualand populations. I was also attracted to the diversityg of opportunities withinthe field. After some earlty positive experiences, I was sold. INTERNAL AFFAIRS: I choser general internal medicine becaus I like the intellectual challenge of takinhg care of complicated patients with multiple chronic conditionzs where the focus is on thewholed person, not just their individual combined with an emphasis on primart and secondary prevention. Being a good general internist is like a beingb agood quarterback.
You have to see the wholee field, coordinate the actions of many balancemultiple priorities, and be the coach on the fieldd for the patient and the othetr specialists involved in the case. Withoutr a good quarterback, the team ofte n flounders. So too in health care. WHY UT SOUTHWESTERN: The opportunithy to take a leadership position in my field at an institution of the calibere of UT Southwestern was a real Asa scientist, I was also excited to join an institutionj known for its Nobel Prize-winning science and care of the underserved, and I want to help it grow a stronb clinical, outcomes and health servicesz research enterprise.
