Brian Tangsombatvisit is a first-year medical student at UCSF with a background in physiological sciences from UCLA. Originally from Clayton, California, he developed an early interest in healthcare through his time as a medical scribe at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute, where he worked closely with physicians across multiple disciplines, including orthopedics and neurology. Those experiences sparked his passion for diagnostic radiology, especially in the musculoskeletal domain.

As a representative for APAMSA, Brian is excited to help build a supportive space for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) medical students. He’s committed to promoting cultural understanding, increasing awareness of community health issues, and creating pathways for advocacy and mentorship within medicine. Brian looks forward to contributing to APAMSA’s mission while continuing to explore how his interests in imaging, equity, and education can intersect throughout his journey in medicine.
