Felisha Eugenio, Doctor of Medicine

Hometown: Cerritos, CA
My medical area of interest are Global health, minority health disparities, patient advocacy and health policy, social justice.
Interests: I love singing, cooking and trying new restaurants, traveling, and watching Lakers basketball
My mom is a pediatrician, and growing up I was inspired by the way she not only cared for patients in the clinical setting, but also used her platform to advocate for policies that affect medically-disadvantaged populations. In college, I also developed an interest in global health. I knew that a career in medicine would allow me to combine and carry out these passions.
I want to practice primary care and improve healthy equity in underserved communities, and to continue working in global health and development.

Won Seok Shin, MD

Hometown: Seoul, Korea
My medical interests include integrative medicine, geriatrics, sports medicine, and nutrition.
Interests: Outside of medicine, I enjoy outdoor activities and exploring nature with friends and family.
The person that inspired me the most was my grandmother who passed away from the Alzheimer’s Disease.  Toward the end of her life, my family and I were her caregiver, and I initially thought about going into research to help find cures. I later turned my attention to helping underserved immigrant communities that had difficulty with access to healthcare. Prior to going to medical school, I also served as a combat medic in the Korean Army. All of these experiences have shaped my life to pursue medicine. 
After residency, I may consider pursuing fellowship. After that, I would like to work in underserved settings, get involved in academics (as a community preceptor or guest lecturer), or be involved in international medical mission programs.
