Summary

• Dr. Mohammed always had an interest in medicine since she was 9 years old. Having her Pediatrician as a role-model for her medical interests, she decided to pursue medicine starting at a young age. Realizing that millions across the world were unable to maintain their health due to poverty, environmental conditions, and lack of public assistance inspired Dr. Mohammed to look further into Family Medicine as her career choice. She was able to gain insight into how she viewed the world and her own community by having experiences that shaped her to become globally conscious and a culturally competent physician that allowed her to build strong/diverse coalitions throughout the community and beyond.
