Jacob - San Francisco, CA

Jacob is a fourth-year medical student at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine. After graduating from Stanford University in 2021 with a BS with Honors, Jacob worked at Genentech doing drug research and development for neurological disorders.

He is currently conducting anesthesia research in the lab of Dr. Jonathan Pan, and was UCSF's medical student delegate to the American Medical Association, and Co-Coordinator of Health Link - an extracurricular program that offers education and mentorship about different careers in health care to 80 local high school students.

After getting his MD, Jacob hopes to complete anesthesiology residency and possibly a fellowship in adult critical care. Ultimately, he hopes to combine his experience as a CF patient with his medical training to care for patients, advance medicine through research, and improve access to care through patient-centered health policy.
