Hi, I’m Kenny Wong, a first-year osteopathic medical student at A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona, and I received my B.S. in Environmental Science and Health at the University of Southern California (Fight On!). As a proud first-generation Chinese-American born and raised in the Bay Area, I am passionate about pursuing a career as a primary care physician, and I hope to be a supportive figure for others navigating their own paths in medicine. I joined the Osteopathic Medicine Committee to help expand awareness of the DO pathway within the AANHPI community and strengthen connections between students, physicians, and pre-meds. Before medical school, I worked as a Clinical Research Supervisor, where I helped build mentorship programs and supported others in their professional growth. I’m excited to bring that same spirit of collaboration and advocacy to APAMSA through outreach, event planning, and mentorship initiatives in this in inaugural role.
