I chose pediatric because
during my missionary experience,
I worked with a lot of
children, and somehow, I
feel connected with them.
I feel a lot of joy
being around them.
Based on that, they
give me a purpose.
My primary interest
is food allergy.
It's really stemmed
from my interaction
with children with really severe
food allergies, multiple food
allergies.
Eczema and food
allergy are probably
the major two allergic diseases
that you will hear about
besides hay fever or
allergic rhinitis and asthma.
I like to put my
effort and emphasis
in taking care of
children with food allergy
and implement new
guidelines that actually
lead to significant reductions
in the [INAUDIBLE] food
allergy in children to
be to develop tools,
to be able to have
maybe a better
way of doing clinical research.
Because with the new guidelines
in early peanut introduction
in children, [INAUDIBLE]
a six-month-old,
it would change the landscape
of peanut allergy in the next
maybe five to 10 years.
The point of caring
for children and family
is to be able to
communicate with them
and let them know that
we care and educate them
to the best of our
ability so that they
can understand and
use that knowledge
to take care of themselves.
And when they need help, they
can always reach out to us.
And so we try to send
that message to our team
and also to the families
that we're here to help.
The family and the patients,
they're very appreciative.
So as a team, we're
here for them.
