Why pediatrics?
My interest in pursuing pediatrics as a specialty was profoundly influenced by my father, a dedicated pediatric gastroenterologist. Growing up, I witnessed his unwavering commitment to his young patients and the profound impact he had on their lives. His ability to diagnose and treat complex gastrointestinal issues in children, coupled with his compassionate approach, inspired me to follow in his footsteps.
