Hello, my name is Paul Tominez and I am a medical student at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. Before medical school, I attended the University of California, Davis where I received my B.S. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry. I subsequently worked as a Junior Specialist with the UC Davis Department of Emergency Medicine. My current medical interests are in emergency medicine, global health, and systems improvement. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, taking care of my plants, and cooking. I am excited to be serving you as the APAMSA Region 8 Co-Director!
