What you like about the program: The fascinating diversity of educational and clinical Psychiatry experience, pathology, biopsychosocial factors, cultural integration, and the level of support from seniors and supervisors at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso is un-matched. Deeply integrated comradery, educational exposure, and unique experiences are really the ropes that pull individuals into the Psychiatry Program at Texas TechTTUHSC El Paso. 

What you like about El Paso: The average of 302 bright, yellow, sunny days, along with the diversity of cultural exposure that is unmatched. Being a border town, there is a melting pot of diversity which provides unique experiences and broadens horizons of exposure and growth. 

Interests/Passion/Career Goals: After completing my adult Psychiatry training, I will be doing a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso. Given my strong passion for child and adolescent psychiatry combined with my dedication to serving, I seek to advocate for my patients by empowering their voice at leadership and advocacy platforms. Growing up as a first generation American, I continuously saw a huge disparity in mental health in the American culture and more so in the South Asian culture. I wanted to be a part of a revolution in the mental health field that serves this vulnerable population requiring holistic care through advocacy, education, research, and transformation. I believe prevention and early intervention in children and adolescent’s life can create a lifelong lasting impact. The challenging nature of working with this vulnerable population and hoping to create a lifelong impact that could change their life is rewarding and what inspires me to be a future child and adolescent psychiatrist. 

What you like about the program: The TTUHSC El Paso Child and Adolescent Psychiatry program provides a great balance between medication management and therapy. Our attendings are very approachable, work closely with us, and encourage our individual passions.

What you like about El Paso: One of the beauties of living in El Paso is the guaranteed 300 days of shine. If I’m not seeing a good movie in theaters with friends, then I might be traveling to another warm destination for some relaxation.

Interests/Passion/Career Goals: I hope to become comfortable treating more patients with neurodevelopmental disorders as a future child and adolescent psychiatrist.
