About Adam
I have been lucky enough to call Cincinnati home for 26 years. Born and raised on the west side of Cincinnati, I’ve always felt a draw to the community and culture of Cincinnati. I performed my undergraduate studies at Ohio State University before returning back to Cincinnati for medical school. The combination of culture and community in Cincinnati makes each neighborhood feel unique, something I’ve really grown to appreciate. On any given weekend, you can find me eating at the city’s many fantastic restaurants or enjoying a Reds game. The Service and Advocacy elective will allow me to give back to the place that I’ve called home for so many years. It will also allow me to build skills for my career in Family Medicine. I want to be the physician who not only understands the needs of his community, but one who makes an effort to improve those needs through street medicine, free clinics, etc.
