Personal Statement

I truly love being a physician assistant and cannot imagine working in any other field of medicine than pediatrics. It is very rewarding to care for and make a positive difference in the lives of children, and to observe them as they grow and flourish from infancy into young adulthood. I also feel lucky to have found Hyde Park Pediatrics and to work alongside such a wonderful group of colleagues and talented physicians.
