• Multiple Myeloma

Before I started medical school I read the book, Emperor of All Maladies, about the history of cancer treatment and research; from that point on I was ‘hooked’ on the science behind cancer and how to treat it. The hematology/oncology department at Mayo Clinic Arizona is unique because of its focus and priority on patient-centered care, emphasis on education and teaching, as well as cutting edge research. Cancer research is particularly important to me and I was pleased to be selected into the Mayo Clinic Clinicians Investigator Program, which helps support and train fellows interested in pursuing a career that includes a combination of clinical specialty and research.
