“I was sold. I knew at that moment. I was like ‘This is the right field for me.’”

In this episode of Before the White Coat, Dr. Nasim Afsar recounts her very first patient encounter as a medical student, from touching the doorknob of the exam room to presenting it to her faculty member and treatment.

From immigrating to America at an early age to becoming the Chief Quality Officer at the Department of Medicine for UCLA Health and an SHM Board member, Drs. Wellikson and Afsar talk about her early interests in community service and the defining moments in her career as a hospitalist, including her passion for quality improvement.
