Researcher & Advanced Laboratory Teaching Assistant | Pomona College
Traveling to Japan through COPE Health Solutions gave me valuable insight into a healthcare system built on universal coverage and a deep commitment to overall health and wellness. I was struck by how preventative care, accessibility, and respect for patients were deeply integrated into everyday practices, reflecting a society that truly prioritizes the well-being of its people. My experiences through COPE Health Solutions have broadened my perspective on what's possible in healthcare and will continue to shape the way I approach medicine.
