Katha Desai

“Hello! I’m Katha and am a fourth year student currently applying for residency in internal medicine. I’m from New Jersey and did my undergraduate degree in microbiology and sociology at the University of Pittsburgh in PA. Following that, I completed a MBS degree here at Duke. I worked for a year as a medical assistant at a primary care clinic in Chapel Hill prior to matriculation in medical school. I’m interested in doing an academic internal medicine residency and hope to become a hospitalist. In my free time, I enjoy practicing jiu-jitsu with my teammates at Elevate MMA Academy, indoor bouldering, and hanging out with my cat Jax!”
