Biography:

Pooja Patel completed her medical school in Mumbai, India and is currently pursuing her Internal Medicine residency at Larkin Community Hospital in South Miami, Florida. She is currently a PGY2 resident, who aspires to specialize in cardiology and critical care. She is from the Midwest, not fearing living in the oh-so-cold winters. Patel enjoys learning and improving her skills, in every aspect available. She believes ‘teaching others is the easy way to learning’. Patel also completed and received her Master’s in Biomedical Sciences. She has volunteered her time at a non-profit organization since 2017, at Waukesha Free Clinic in Waukesha, Wisconsin (former St. Joseph’s Medical Clinic), and still continues to do so whenever  possible. Patel was awarded the Director’s Coin during her rotation at the VA Medical Center in Grand Junction, Colorado for the care provided to our veterans, and for volunteering to help the community in times of the COVID surge in the late 2021. As a physician, she prides herself on serving those who have served our country.
