“As a physician, I joined Georgetown’s M.S. in Global Health program to broaden my impact beyond the bedside. The program transformed how I think about improving health through research, implementation, and stronger health systems. My field research in the Philippines, exploring how extreme weather events affect HIV service delivery, was especially meaningful. Working alongside health workers and communities strengthened my research and implementation skills while deepening my commitment to health equity. Today, I apply those lessons at Georgetown’s Center for Global Health Practice and Impact, supporting HRSA’s Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative across the United States.”
