"I have volunteered with many organizations since I was eight years old. My mother taught my brother and me the importance of giving back to the community, and I still volunteer. I am involved with the American College of Radiology, the American Red Cross, and Rad-Aid International. I recently returned from an overseas opportunity with Rad-Aid, where I worked with other physicians to deliver diagnostic imaging and treatment to underdeveloped communities. I plan to continue volunteering after completing my residency and throughout my career."

"In medical school I volunteered at an inner-city healthcare clinic devoted to serving homeless and underserved populations. Students were responsible for signing patients into the clinic, managing the electronic medical record, and budgeting the clinic's expenses. We also took patient histories and performed physical exams prior to presenting patients to our attending preceptors. This experience was important to me because I was able to use and practice my medical knowledge while helping the local community."
