Portfolium: https://portfolium.com/khaiminh93 With a lifelong desire to study and practice medicine, I am concerned with the whole person—the medical and social/emotional aspects of wellness from the patient’s personal view and cultural perspective. I am a strong advocate for preventive medicine, family medicine, and research on the impact of invasive disease on patient care and internal cardiology. In short, the dynamic of the human body and experience fascinates me. I'm seeking an internship, associateship or partnership with or without a potential practice buy-in and one-on-one interaction in dealing with the complexity of medical insurance. Quality of delivery and affordable patient care will be the focus of my professional career. My friends and colleagues know me to be extremely motivated, hard-working, and able to adapt swiftly to new environments and cultures. One reason for this is the fact that I have acclimated to and thrived in a second culture and language. I have the confidence of my success so far, but have not lost my understanding of the challenges of new ventures and circumstances, and I am willing to devote all my energy and potential to a professional practice environment. In addition to my academic and professional career development, I sincerely wish to accumulate a wealth of knowledge and experience in medical and business protocols from an experienced partner and practice, and I am committed to energetically and productively helping my partner(s) grow his / her practice. As a potential long-term goal, I am considering pursuing a J.D. so that I may learn about the legal aspects of medical practice; however, there is much medical study and work to do before that. In addition to my primary focus on medical practice, I am also deeply interested in various other fields. These include biotechnology, abnormal and biological psychology, human physiology, as well as social and behavioral sciences. These additional interests stem from my passion for public health and public policy. By exploring these areas, I aim to broaden my understanding of the complex interplay between biological, psychological, and social factors that influence health outcomes and shape public policies. This multidisciplinary approach allows me to delve deeper into the intricacies of healthcare, paving the way for a more comprehensive and holistic approach to improving the well-being of individuals and communities.
