The Power of Introspection

I’m Peter, an MD by profession, a first-year MPH student at the Brown School, and a CCE Graduate Intern. I have been a practicing physician for the past five years. My journey into medicine has been profoundly shaped by introspection, and I believe that understanding one’s motivations is crucial when considering a career in medicine. Engaging in reflective thinking can help aspiring doctors clarify their paths and ensure they are making informed decisions.
