Career plans and goals

Vaishnavi plans to study Biological Sciences and also Healthcare Management. She also plans to continue to gain new experiences through activities like medical research and shadowing.

She hopes to attend a Top 10 Medical School to Become a cardiothoracic surgeon as well as someday manage a hospital. Vaishnavi says “this will allow me to be able to work as a bridge between medical science and how it serves people. I will be able to influence the overall healthcare experience of the patients not just the treatment or medical advice.”

She also plans to continue to volunteer in hospitals and join service­ based organizations in college. She will continue to fundraise and advocate for the education of needy children in poorer countries saying, “I hope to spread my ideas regarding promoting education more in college so others can help me in this fundraising endeavor and thus make it bigger. This is very important to me because I feel that it is very important to educate everyone and let them reach their full potential so they can help others. I will also enjoy doing walks/runs for cause. These activities help me engage in my community and make a true difference in my world.”

Congratulations Vaishnavi and we wish you all the best in making our healthcare and our world a better place!
