Tell us about yourself: Hello! My name is Lois (LOYCE) and I’m currently a sophomore Biochemistry Honors student — yes, a living Polymathic Scholar. I’m in my intern year here at HCMP, meaning I have the privilege of shadowing a plethora of physicians. With this access, I’ve been able to really understand what type of doctor I want to be. |
| Here, I’m not necessarily talking about specialty but about bedside manner. Some physicians love to joke with their patients and colleagues to ease what otherwise can be a tension driven environment. This choice to bring laughter and joy into a person’s life in the midst of fear and uncertainty is one of the reasons I want to be a doctor, and I really appreciate HCMP for giving me the opportunity to witness this in person.
Outside of having deep meta discussions (see previous sentences), I spend the rest of my time hanging out with a group of awesome artists in an a capella group, Voices of Afrika, where I sing Tenor (or Alto, when no one notices)! |
