“The UCLA Fielding School of Public Health Executive MPH program has taught me to treat the whole population as my patient (to paraphrase UCLA Chancellor Dr. Frenk). Balancing this learning with my role as a Patient Navigator at Pinnacle Fertility has deepened my commitment to patient-centered care as I carve my path toward medical school.”
