My name is Yash Desai and I am a current third year medical student at VCOM-Virginia. I completed my undergraduate education at Virginia Commonwealth University and started at VCOM shortly after where I had the pleasure of meeting both Dr. Abraham-Hardee and Dr. Bhagtani. They took me under their wing and allowed me to help conduct these educational discussions, helping strengthen a pivotal part of our society, Early Childhood Educators. I am very excited to continue chatting with each of you and I am looking forward to another great year!
My name is Prutha Patel and I am a third-year medical student at VCOM-VA. I am from King George, VA and completed my undergraduate degree at VCU prior to starting at VCOM. I have enjoyed collaborating with the wonderful pediatricians from VCOM and Early Childhood Educators to assist in facilitating discussions related to relevant topics in the field today! I have an aspiration of being a pediatrician in the future and hope to see you at our future sessions.
