doctors, both M.D. and D.O. I find that nothing fills my heart more than seeing
a patient recover. Not just by the numbers from labworks, but by their very own
words. During my time shadowing, one of the D.O. once asked me, "There is more
to cure than just the pills. Jia, what do you think the patients coming here need
the most?" At the time, I thought "trust and patience". Since then I've mentored
underclassmen at my university for one year, worked in a rehab center for another,
and scribed under doctors for two years. Through these experiences, I believe that
giving unconditioned support was the key to healing. I want to promote tailored
treatment plans for each individual patient that fits naturally into their lifestyle. By
coming to LUCOM, I aim to learn the whole answer, and put these above thoughts
into action.

2.)How do you It is my life goal to advocate for humanistic healing as a family doctor, and serve
hope to impact the disadvantaged. Over the past three years working in clinics, I've met many
your community people who couldn't receive adequate treatment due to financial burden, shortage
as an osteopathic of family doctors, and policy barriers. I understand that modern corporate and
physician? (max insurance policies in the past decade have made it increasingly harder for doctors
300words) to diagnose and treat patients with the best available options. For example, insur-
ance requires a XR done before an MRI can be covered by insurance, or that only
the cheaper and often less effective brands are covered. It is frustrating to know
that medicine has become monopolized by giant business owners, and that every
year stocks of medication expire on the shelf because the people cannot afford its
ceiling-high prices. It is my hope to one day open my own line of traveling clinics,
and offer both reduce-cost and free care for the people across the nation and
globe. There is no single place that I see myself. I want to build my base in the east
coast, and expand out to where the underserved and disadvantaged population
needs me. Be it in Virginia, east coast, across the United States, or beyond.

-I understand that Liberty is Rules and structure (no drinking, no partying) but I
don't see it as limiting. In fact I see these rules as something that would help build
character/professionalism.
-I had the pleasure of working and volunteering at St. Francis Church and it has
changed my views. I first joined to accompany a friend and also out of curiousity.
I have found that the community is anything but rigid.
All the people I've met during the weekly dinners, masses, volunteer events are
welcoming to non-Christians and supportive in every which way. Although they
were welcoming the community did not tolerate nonsense (improper clothes, poor
manners, speech) which is what I like. My campus/dorm was pretty wild so going

that I started working there too. Very closed netted, liek family, with upright values,
and I believe the community values here at Liberty will only help me grow as a
person.
-I am here to learn, not here to party so the rules here fit me just fine. I am also
very adaptable and open to learning in a new perspective.
