Zachary has been passionate about healthcare since high school when he realized he could make a positive impact on people's lives. He chose to become a physician assistant, specializing in internal medicine because it gives him the flexibility to work with a variety of patients and practice different areas of medicine. His experience as a patient care assistant in places like nursing homes, intensive care units (ICU) and emergency departments has given him a unique view of the challenges patients go through. Zachary’s brother works as a nurse in a trauma care setting. This influenced him to become the healthcare professional he is today.
