Hi everyone! My name is Michael Nguyen and I am a third-year medical student at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, attended Stanford University for undergrad, and worked in tech for a few years before deciding to pivot into medical school. As a gay, first-generation medical student raised by Vietnamese refugees, I am deeply passionate about giving back to underserved communities and advocating for health equity and social justice. In my free time, I enjoy dancing (formerly on a hip-hop dance team), playing video games, and exploring new restaurants across Philly.
