Through art symposiums, elective courses, and Plexus (the journal of medicine and humanities), I have and will continue to explore the intricacies of the physician-patient dynamic, the philosophical underpinnings of compassion, and the art of clinical intersections. I am not only excited but immensely grateful for what being a part of this program will mean for my future patients and the future of medicine. -Nicole Parker, MS1
