Hi! My name is Victoria Shi and I am a graduating M4 at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. I completed a research year at Northwestern University in 2024. I am headed to Emory for my Transitional Year and Dermatology residency training.

I grew up in Pennsylvania before moving to the suburbs of New Jersey, and my hometown was not very diverse. Seeking a stronger AANHPI community, I first joined APAMSA in 2018. Both my local and national APAMSA families have given me such a strong sense of community. Throughout the years, I have served as National President, Strategy Vice President, Alumni co-Director, Region VI Director, as well as local chapter president. Being able to uplift and support the AANHPI community has been one of the greatest joys of my medical school career! I am excited to continue mentorship, medical education, and advocacy work as an APAMSA alumnus.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring restaurants and coffeeshops in new cities, cooking/baking, and nature walks!
