Tori Nguyen

Hello! My name is Tori, and I'm originally from Orange County, CA. I did my undergrad at UCLA, where I studied biology and global health, and one of my favorite memories was learning integrative health abroad in Shanghai. I took two gap years before starting medical school, and during that time, I worked as a medical assistant in gastroenterology and at a dumpling restaurant. I'm continuing to deepen my interest in whole-person care as part of the HEAL-IM program, and I'm excited to grow closer to our campus community as a House Director and MSAT this year! My clinical interests include neurology, AANHPI health disparities and medical education, and I hope to have a career in academic neurology in the future. My study strategies for med school include third-party resources like UWorld, AMBOSS, Anki (it's a love-hate relationship!) and Mehlman Medical PDFs. It definitely took some time to figure out what worked for me, so if you have any questions, I'm happy to help! In my free time, I love to do yoga, explore new coffee shops, go to concerts, thrift, and most recently, cooking in the kitchen at pickleball!
