Miranda Yu
Tufts University (2021)
Major: Biology
Plans for career: Medicine… possibly Dermatology (?!)
Admitted to: Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine
Bio: While technically class of 2021, I graduated from Tufts University early in December of 2020 with a major in Biology. During my time at Tufts, I was involved in an assortment of activities that ranged from conducting my own research on hospital food nutrition at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging in Boston, to volunteering and leading medical service trips in rural Guatemala, to studying wild chimpanzee hunting behavior from data collected at the Kibale National park in Uganda. Through all of these experiences, I have come to appreciate/recognize how public health issues share commonalities across the world and bring us together. I joined Dermcare this past January because I was hoping to learn more about what medicine, but more specifically dermatology, is all about in a clinical setting. During my time at Dermcare, I’ve learned so much from all the providers at our network, who have been extremely nurturing and always take the time to teach you about their work. I’ve also learned an incredible amount from all the other gap year interns and nurses here, who are all amazing in their own way. When I am not at work, I enjoy working out, talking to my plants, cooking for my friends, and painting/drawing!
Yuying Zhang (Chloe)
UMass Amherst (2020)
Major: Chemistry
Plans for career: I aspired to pursue a MD/MBA program in the future
Admitted to: UMass Chan Medical School
Bio: As a first-generation college student and an immigrant, I am passionate to serve underprivileged communities. During my four years at UMass Amherst, I did research with Dr. Julian Tyson devised an affordable test kit procedure to measure toxic inorganic arsenic concentration in rice to be implemented in developing countries such as Bangladesh where expensive instrumental detection is not readily available. The challenge of science and its ability to find solutions to problems are what drew me toward research and medicine. My experience as a patient support volunteer for 6 years showed me health care through the patient’s lens while working closely with top physicians at Dermcare Physicians and Surgeons as a medical assistant gave me a new understanding of the challenges that physicians face everyday and how they combined personalized patient care with the art of healing. Outside of work, I am also on the executive board of a nonprofit organization named Community HealthEd where we publish medical writings that summarize relevant scientific literature without scientific jargons for communities. Currently, I am working on a project to gather a team of medical translators where we can translate our newsletters for communities where language is a barrier to health literacy. I enjoy spending my free time interviewing older adults (60+) for my podcast where we donate all profits to local charities, filming dance videos with friends, snacking and sleeping!
