Infectious diseases are interesting because it doesn’t deal with one particular type of organ system or medical process. It takes a look at the patient in a whole and focuses on people who are at risk for infection or have an infection. I first developed an interest in medicine due to family members who had experience with medicine. My sister had a serious illness when I was a teenager, and that stimulated my interest in medicine. It developed to be a larger interest in biomedical research and medical care. Patients who tend to see me are often seeing other providers at the same time. So they’ll have an opportunity to see me when they’re seeing their organ transplant physicians or their oncologists. They would tend to see me as we are developing strategies to prevent infection. I’m passionate in the care for patients who have cancer, or organ transplants, or bone marrow transplants — people who have compromised immune systems and who are at increased risks for infections.
