Winston Nguyen is currently a second-year medical student at Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He was born in Augusta, Georgia, and later attended the University of South Carolina, where he earned his B.S. in Exercise Science with a minor in Business Administration. During his gap years before medical school, he worked as an orthopedic medical assistant with Prisma Health and as an Educator at Lululemon. He also volunteered at a free clinic and with Crisis Text Line, where he gained meaningful experiences supporting patients and individuals both within medicine and beyond.

In his undergraduate studies, Winston was involved with his local Vietnamese Student Association chapter, where he developed a deeper appreciation for cultural identity, community outreach, and creating spaces for connection. In medical school, he continues to carry these values through his role as Inclusive Excellence Officer on the Class Council for the Class of 2029, as well as through his involvement in APAMSA and other student organizations. He is currently interested in emergency, orthopedics, OB/GYN, and family/sports medicine. He is also passionate about working with marginalized communities who have historically been underserved, underrepresented, and impacted by barriers to equitable health care in his future practice.

Outside of medicine he is a big foodie, music enthusiast, and traveler. He likes trying new things, exploring new places, and experiencing different food, cultures, and perspectives.
