Hi, my name is Phillip Bounkeua and I graduated from the University of Washington with a B.A. in sociology. After graduating I worked as an EMT-B for a private ambulance company and medical scribe. During my time as a medical scribe, I had the opportunity to work in the following specialties: neurologic-oncology, urologic-oncology, dermatology, rheumatology, and in the ED. In my free time, I enjoy watching sports, hanging out with friends, and spending time with my family. Go Hawks!

The cadaver lab.

Make a pros and cons list of each program you’re interested in and be open-minded about selecting programs.
