Why did you choose to work at LUHS?

What is something that you are doing today that you never imagined you'd be doing when you first began your career?
Taking care of so many different patients with different illnesses from different cultures and social economic classes

Being calm, clear-headed, organized, work well under pressure, able to handle stress well and, most of all, to get along with others and be a team player!
