Hey! My name is Jerry Yin, and I am a second year medical student at McGovern Medical School in Houston, Texas. I was born in Beijing, China, moved to Sugar Land, Texas as a young boy, and then attended UC Berkeley where I studied Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I’m the outgoing chapter president at UT Houston where I initiated a campus-wide Lunar New Year celebration this year by partnering with our Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and I hope to bring something similar to other chapters in Region IX as one of its directors. My medical interests include bridging the gap between Eastern and Western medicine for first and second generation immigrants, particularly for the internationally adopted population. As a result, I’m currently interested in Med-Peds and potentially a cardiology fellowship. Outside of APAMSA, I enjoy singing and beatboxing for the McGovern Skeletones and Baylor Docappella, co-running the McGovern gaming discord server, and playing basketball, spikeball, and ultimate frisbee with my friends.
