"I am so honored to be a recipient of this year’s award and I would like to thank you so much for opening up an opportunity for medical students to apply to an award that celebrates diversity in medicine.  

I am a second-year medical student, finishing up my second year. As I transition to clerkships, I hope to practice culturally competent medicine and strive to promote diversity and inclusion into our health system. As someone who is interested in primary care, I envision myself caring for a diverse patient population and interacting with patients from marginalized communities on a daily basis.  

Thank you again for your generous contribution to helping medical students. Speaking as someone from a low SES background who has a history of struggling academically in undergrad, due to familial obligations and a history of working part-time or full-time jobs while being a student, this scholarship means so much to me and I am grateful to have had the honor of being the recipient.  

Warm regards, 

Lynda Ngo"
