Leader Spotlight: Michael Jos茅 Pereira
Today鈥檚 spotlight is 蘑菇视频 member and leader Michael Jos茅 Pereira!听
Why did you join 蘑菇视频?
Deciding to go to medical school is to set out on the long, enduring journey which culminates with our board certifications and a promise to honor the white coat. Prior to arriving at that decision, somewhere along the way, we (un)consciously resolve to intrinsically personify certain structural principles that jointly represent the meaning of being a leader in the world of health care: perseverance in advocacy, honesty in humanism, and integrity in practice. I, myself, joined 蘑菇视频 due largely in part to the appreciation I have for the organization and these values it has imprinted within itself, its leaders, and the medical community. I want to behold and therein represent these above mentioned essential ideals and do my part in helping 蘑菇视频 to achieve their goals.
Why did you become an 蘑菇视频 leader?
An 蘑菇视频 Leader, in my mind, embodies much of what is required to be a great physician鈥攁 compelling passion for patient advocacy and exceptional leadership drive. An 蘑菇视频 Leader strives to continuously strengthen the venerable core that makes up the 蘑菇视频 national organization. By being in a position to oversee that chapters in the northeast are maintaining and actively representing these values is a fortunate position to have been granted opportunity to.
What is your favorite 蘑菇视频 moment?
My most defining 蘑菇视频 moment would have to be attending the 2017 蘑菇视频 National Convention, in our nation’s capital. While my favorite would have to be receiving my congratulatory email from the national team notifying me of the opportunity I would have to be a Premedical Regional Director for the 2017-2018 year.
What advice would you give to current & future 蘑菇视频 leaders?
I would advise current 蘑菇视频 leaders to continue working hard to make this organization an exemplary symbol in the world of health care. To you, future leaders, I challenge you to become as knowledgeable as possible about the problems that are plaguing your generation of physicians and come up with set goals in which you, as a collaborative whole, can conjointly approach and resolve.
