Local doctors follow hearts to meet global challenges

Local doctors follow hearts to meet global challenges

An old college classmate, AuCo shared an article today on her dad published in our local paper.
I respect both Dr. Guerrero and Duy for their military services and their humanitarian work, respectively. I remember Auco telling us stories about her dad, who I believed at the time was also a doctor at UCI's medical center when we were in undergrad. I vividly remember stories of Auco sharing her father's experience and her memories of her summer Vietnam trip. What's funny is that I think I remember that her father also collected these interesting artifacts from his world travels and was an avid game hunter. Talk about a unique interest!

Anyhow, congratulations to Auco for fulfilling her dream of pursuing medicine this year at Midwestern (Oh, those pre-med days were ultimately worth it right?)! I'd think it be interesting to check out Vietnam one of these summers as part of their medical mission trips.

Ultimately, I think this is one thing students should really consider as cliche as that sounds. There were moments when I was originally doing both AMCAS and Pharmcas when I debated these type of opportunities.

Is it just coincidental that we had a speaker today in Career Development on a similar service topic: Pharmacist Professional Service?
