Raven's WHY?

From my experience in an underserved and underrepresented community, I never had access to a primary care physician. Being raised by a single mother taught me many lessons of resilience and fortitude. With these experiences of loss and pain I decided that I want to pursue a career in primary care. I envision myself playing a role in addressing health disparities and understanding how social determinants of health play a role in healthcare.
