Hi! I'm Thien, a third year medical student at Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine. I was born in Hue, Vietnam and I am currently pursuing my dream of becoming an osteopathic doctor who can provide holistic and compassionate care to patients. I am passionate about volunteering and serving the underserved communities. My goal in becoming a physician is to apply my knowledge, skills, and values to improve the health and well-being of individuals. I am forever indebted to those who can help me continue my education!
