Why did you get into health care? What drew you to cardiac electrophysiology?
I was drawn to medicine in high school and college. I enjoyed my biology, anatomy and physiology courses, plus I like working with people. I was introduced to electrophysiology during medical school and was immediately interested. It is such a dynamic field with rapidly expanding technology and advancement. It also involves complex heart physiology, which I really enjoy. Furthermore, it takes good communication skills to explain to patients and families what is going on with their heart health and how it can be treated.
