What do you attribute your success to?

  • I attribute any success that I have to God--to Jesus Christ. Also to my parents, who encouraged me when no one else did. I was a math major at Johns Hopkins and medical school hadn\'t crossed my mind, when a fellow student suggested medicine as a career path for me. I was intrigued at the thought and made an appointment to discuss it with my advisor. He discouraged me from pursing medicine. Fortunately my parents didn\'t share his opinion, and their encouragement was all I needed to move in that direction. I got into medicine because I wanted to help people, and I get to do that in every one of my roles here at Penn Medicine. As a clinician I read scans and that\'s one way to help. As a professor I teach others to read scans, teaching and mentoring our future doctors; in that way I get to help our patients and the students. And as a researcher, I get to help develop better ways to serve our patients, so what we in the research capacity is helping patients of the future. That is an incredibly rewarding feeling.
