Doc Mike

BIO

I am located in a rural part of Appalachia, which is entirely underserved in terms of healthcare services. I am not a medical doctor or PhD, et cetera, but as a psyc intern, I contribute substantually to providing services to underserved persons, with supervision of my my addtendings. More odd yet, is that I am an undergraduate junior at a small liberal arts institution.
