Khushi Gandhi
Passionate about patient care, medical research, and advancing healthcare through evidence-based practice.
About Me
I'm a first-year Master’s student at New York University School of Global Public Health, dedicated to pursuing a career in medicine with a focus on global health and data science. My journey in medicine is driven by a deep commitment to understanding the complexities of human health and providing compassionate, patient-centered care.
Throughout my studies and experiences, I've developed a strong foundation in clinical skills, research techniques, and evidence-based medicine. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of global health research, data science, and efficient medicine modalities for better patient outcomes.
Beyond the classroom and clinic, I'm actively involved in medical research, volunteer work, and clinical positions. I believe in the importance of lifelong learning and staying current with the latest advances in medical science. Some hobbies of mine include photography and weightlifting. I became a Group Fitness Instructor to combine my curiosity for medicine and the human body with a hobby of mine, integrating it at Sweat440 in NYC.
