"One of the reasons I wish to attend TouroCOM is because of the school's commitment to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in medicine and train osteopathic physicians to practice medicine in underserved communities. I chose to become a medical professional because of the broad impact I can make on my patients, their families, and my underserved community. As a practitioner, I will improve the profession by bringing whole-health knowledge and mindset to my patients. When my patients feel motivated and empowered to take control of their entire health, it will create a ripple effect on other aspects of their lives, including their family members' well-being. This ripple will help create greater respect for general health care, improve public views of our profession, and increase how often patients visit their GP for regular checkups."
