I trained initially as a physical chemist, and then, after becoming interested in biology, I went to medical school and learned how to be a physician. So, I'm a physician scientist.

I am a doctor, a real doctor.

For a long time, I thought I would like to be a doctor. Such a good profession. So explicitly good. Never a waste of time.

I'm a medical doctor and a biomedical scientist.

I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, but I also knew that being a doctor meant more than treating just the patient in front of you.

There is a clear matter that I am not a practicing physician. I have never been a practitioner; everybody has known for decades. I'm a developer of the technology.

As a physician, I understand how important it is to collect data on people so we can understand what's happening with them. I will be in the position to help enable that knowledge.

I am a medical scientist, not a practical physician.

My job as a physician is to make sure I have provided my patients with the best options to make the decisions that affect their lives.

I'm from a family of doctors, and I think they really wanted me to be a doctor. I even sort of assumed I would be a doctor.
