**** ******* ******, ***** *****, CA 93458 · 805-***-****
**************.**@*****.***
My 15 years of healthcare experience have been a motivation to pursue advocacy and social change directed at improving healthcare access, quality, and utilization of resources for people experiencing social determinants of health including poor access, lack of health insurance, lack of resources, lack of
food and transportation, and lack of housing. Integrating multidisciplinary care is a focus of mine to provide
treatment to individuals in an holistic manner. My fundamental practice ideology includes limiting polypharmacy, taking a thorough history, performing comprehensive exams, using time proficiently, and providing evidence based treatment with excellent outcomes.
