Why I Chose UCI/CHOC: As a SoCal native, I wanted the opportunity to train and give back to the community that helped shape me into the person I am today. I value the diversity in our community and especially want to serve the Vietnamese population of Orange County. As a medical student at UCI, I looked up to the Residents and Attending Physicians who had such passion for teaching and demonstrated such compassionate patient care, and I look forward to working further with an outstanding group of providers.
