 I chose internal medicine because the vast majority of pathology that you see within that specialty, as well as the daily interactions with patients, I'm not sitting behind a computer screen looking at images all day, I'm constantly interacting with people, dealing from one condition to something totally different with another patient. Just the broad generality of the specialty is what attracted me to it, and being able to confidently deal with all those different conditions is what made me choose internal medicine. I actually wanted to be a teacher at first. I went, did undergraduate in mathematics, and I also majored in biology, and towards the end of my undergraduate career, I wanted to be a researcher in clinical science, so I did take two years, and I worked at NYU Langone doing research in cerebral amyloid angiopathy and Alzheimer's disease, but I knew at some point that there was something missing that I really missed interacting more with people instead of being in a laboratory all the time, so that's when I decided to pursue a career in medicine and become committed to becoming a great physician in society.
