Chinweoke’s inspiration for this project was formed during her undergraduate studies at Case Western Reserve University, when she visited Nigeria. In Nigeria, I was able to appreciate the global health disparities, but when I came home to Cleveland, I realized they were right in our backyard, she recounted, Two side-by-side neighborhoods could have such drastically different life expectancies. Service has really opened my eyes to inequality, especially in the healthcare sy...stem. She recalls a moving experience from her internal medicine rotation training, where she was nervous about being graded on her performance: A patient thanked me and said that I was the only person who made them feel heard. Despite how nervous I was about doing well, I realized that how I treat my patients will always be the most important. Read more about her project on our website, link in bio!
