Tobi Latinwo is a pre-med undergraduate whose interest in healthcare was shaped by her mother’s work as a hospice nurse and by hands-on community service.

Most recently, she was accepted into the AAMC’s Summer Health Professions Education Program at Western University of Health Sciences. Tobi is now seeking her next clinical internship or research placement toward medical school and a career in psychiatry.
