I have a strong interest in cardiovascular disease and prevention. The dedicated faculty and supportive system of KPMAS form a great place for me to pursue my interests and become a well-rounded physician, while learning about the inner workings of a system that has been highly successful in emphasizing preventive care. The program also provides me ample opportunity to continue growing as a leader and educator by leading educational activities for the internal medicine residents.

WHAT MAKES YOUR PASSIONATE ABOUT PRACTICING MEDICINE

I love patient interaction and listening to their stories. Almost every medical problem can be figured out just by speaking with the patient and getting a thorough history! Furthermore, facing complex medical cases and tackling it with my colleagues provide intellectual challenges and ignites my passion for learning.

What our residents have to say

As a new residency program, it is essential that the leadership is open to feedback and changes. I am ecstatic to say that all faculty members are invested in our success, willing to listen, and want to see the residents thrive. Along with the dedicated faculties, I look forward to shaping this residency into something beautiful and excellent.

Hoon Chang, MD

Part of the benefits of a new/smaller program is the 1:1 teaching experience that’s available. It sounds intimidating at first, but it really isn’t. Each preceptor I have worked has been awesome and has made my learning experience a top priority. Yet, even with this close supervision, we still have a lot of autonomy.
