Mentorship for students in interested in applying to MD/PhD in Social Sciences

Excited by the ways in which my clinical training has allowed me to make distinct contributions to my research teams and provide unique feedback to my colleagues, I aim to encourage more students to pursue non-traditional MD/PhD paths. I have offered guidance and feedback to a number of undergraduates from Duke and other institutions interested in applying for MD/PhDs in the social sciences. If you are interested in an MD/PhD in the social sciences, please feel free to reach out.
