Hi everyone! my name is Rachel and I am entering my third year of medical school at Duke - Prior to medical school I took one gap year and spent my time teaching English through Fulbright in Spain. If you are considering applying to Fulbright or want to know how that could work in conjunction with medical school please reach out! I completed undergrad at Emory University majoring in the Humanities & Biology. Some of my current involvements at Duke include Dance For our Health (DFOH) teaching neurodiverse students routines to stay healthy through dance, Holton clinic volunteering, South Asian Medical student association (SAMoSA) exec, exec board of OIG planning ophthalmology screenings in the local community.
My hobbies include oil painting, pottery, dance! Some of my favorite activities from MS1 year were anatomy drawing and the student faculty show! Please reach out if you ever want to learn more about taking a gap year, my involvements, Fulbright or med school in general!
