I’m a doctor!
This past Saturday I became the first Dr Mendoza, which rivals my past accomplishment of being a first-generation college graduate. I powered through these goals inspired by the sacrifices my parents made for their love of education. I’d like to give a special thank you to my mom, my guardian angel, who couldn’t obtain an education of her own due to health issues. I finished the mission inspired by her love and education, and the wisdom she gave me before she passed. I’d like to thank my father for teaching me to work hard and never give up, no matter the odds. He led by example by waking up before sunrise everyday and returning home after the sun set. I could always rely on him to fix my car when it broke down or any emergencies I had while on the road. Thank you to my little sisters who played big sibling when I was sad from medical school. I appreciate the love and support and years of letting me vent about the bs I had to deal with ❤️ and to my love, Gabby, thank you for supporting me throughout medical school during a pandemic. I wouldn’t have made it through without all the cute and well-planned dates and and study breaks throughout the years. Lastly, thank you to my friends and family who believed in me along the way. It wouldn’t have been possible without my village, so thank you 🫡🥲

Today at the keckschoolusc MD Commencement ceremony we distributed over 1,000 flyers to let the families of the graduates know that KSOM housestaff still don’t have a fair contract! Our KSOM colleagues are fighting for fair wages, parental leave, and affordable healthcare, and we hope KSOM will provide it before these graduates start residency next month!

Congratulations to Chloe Panoussi!🎉
🎓She graduates from the Master of Science in Global Medicine program.
✌️“The global medicine matched the criteria of the background in medicine I wish to have as a future physician. I liked how each class integrated aspects of global medical issues, as well as a focus on medicine in rural populations.”
💛❤️“My favorite memory in my program was going to Panama with my fellow classmates to volunteer with Floating Doctors! It was the best hands-on clinical experience I could have asked for. What I learned from that trip, I will be able to carry with me in my future endeavors.”
💭Chloe advises incoming students to "have an open mind and understanding of healthcare in different countries. Also, really try to integrate yourself to the available opportunities, and ask questions!"
🔜After graduation, Chloe plans to attend Saint George’s School of Medicine
Wishing you all the best in Med School Chloe! Fight on!
