Richard’s Answer

I chose to become a physician because I have many family members who are physicians and it looked like a field in which I find job satisfaction. However, I did not truly become passionate about the field of medicine until my third year of medical school during clinical rotations. That was the first time I saw an image guided procedure. I was fascinated by the intersection between medical imaging and treatment. I decided that I wanted to become an interventional radiologist. Now I get to perform image guided procedures every day including angiograms, TIPS, radioembolization of tumors with Y-90, and thermal ablation of tumors.

Hi Daniela! I joined the medical field because I am truly fascinated by mechanisms of disease, and I knew I wanted to be in a profession with a focus on showing people compassion. I am currently on the path to becoming a doctor which provides me with a thorough knowledge of many diseases as well as the ability to interact with people to help them in some of their most difficult and joyous times!

Grace’s Answer

I personally am more interested in the medical sciences, but I have a lot of friends who are in the process of becoming doctors. Most of them decided to join the medical field because of personal experiences they've had. One of my best friends has semi-severe food allergies and had reactions to all kinds of food when she was little. It made her become more interested in the science of the body and helping people who went through similar things as her.
