The system of values I have established for myself will directly impact both my personal and professional life. These values provide a solid foundation for the relationships I form with others and the decisions I make. There exists some overlap in the personal and professional values which I find most important. Being moral and ethical, maintaining fulfilling relationships with others and being my own person comprise my core belief system. Beyond these essential components, there is some diversity between the values which predominate in my own personal life and my career.

My personal values evolve around leading a healthy, fulfilling lifestyle that allows me to be a supportive, loving and contributing member of my family and community. Furthermore, since a career in medicine evolves around one’s interpersonal skills, my professional values are focused on maintaining positive relationships with my colleagues and patients and being an active learner throughout my career.
