Paul Farmer
If I had a Million Dollars, I would
give a quarter of it to my family (mostly to my grandparents in India). With the remaining $750,000 I would create a chain of non-profit programs to feed the homeless in the developing world.

Being able to serve HOSA at the local, regional, and state level!
Career Goals
I aspire to become a physician and eventually contribute to overseas projects while statistically analyzing healthcare disparities.
Future Discovery Anticipated Most
I anticipate the in-depth analysis and comprehension of the functional areas of the brain, and the effects of hormone and chemical imbalances (on specific areas).
