“We do not have to continue to blame external forces for the stresses upon us now. By organizing, mobilizing, and finding solutions to the problems facing us and our adopted community today, we can meet the current challenge to be of help, however we can. Perhaps, in this way, we can stop making pandemics a future generation’s problem to solve, and instead become the leaders we once needed ourselves.”

Pratik Doshi is a medical student.

He shares his story and discusses the KevinMD article that he co-wrote, “The opportunities for medical students in a pandemic.”
