Archisha Chityal

I am a senior at the University of Florida, majoring in Health Sciences on the pre-medical track. I hope to become a physician who integrates research with patient care to provide the highest quality of care possible. I am particularly passionate about improving medical care for disadvantaged populations and staying informed about innovative research that can be incorporated into my clinical practices. I currently work as a medical assistant in a dermatology practice, where I am able to improve my patient care skills and develop my medical knowledge and skills. I also volunteer with Hearts 4 Homeless, an organization aiming to increase access to health information and free blood pressure screenings for individuals affected by homelessness. I am currently involved in research in women’s health, and I have been involved in hematologic oncology research in the past. My involvement in research allows me to build a strong foundation in evidence-based medicine that will guide me in serving patients as a future physician.
