As a rheumatologist in South Korea, I had over 20 years of experience providing comprehensive care for patients with chronic diseases. As a family medicine resident in the United States, I have taken a holistic approach to patient care. Now, I would like to restart a new phase in my career as someone who strives to provide comprehensive and holistic care for patients with chronic diseases by integrating the body and mind.
