As a member of Students for a National Health Program (SNaHP), I firmly believe in health care as a human right. Though it is not the case, I desire that no one should suffer due to a lack of equitably accessible, timely and safe, effective and efficient, individualized and compassionate care. It excites me to represent the medical student community on AIM’s Board as we work to move beyond the limitations of our current model to see the whole—the whole person, community, and system at large—to create optimal healing environments for all.
