1) What inspired you to make the shift into medicine?
When I was the only one who stayed until the end of an autopsy at the Nassau County Medical Examiner's Office a couple of years ago, I realized there was something there.... Then, participating in a shadowing program at the North Shore-LIJ Health System last year confirmed my interest in medicine and in particular got me excited about hospital-based medicine.

2) Why did you choose the Bar-Ilan Postbac Premed Program?
Because I could advance my career while interacting with everything I studied for my Jewish Law degree by living in Israel - the best of both worlds.

5) What is one item from home you couldn’t live without and brought with you to Israel?
My NYC Service Nalgene water bottle that I got during my internship at the NYC Mayor's Office a few years ago. It symbolizes my interest in service and ensures I don't harm Israel's environment by consuming disposable water bottles.
