-: So hi, I'm Roger Wong, I am class of Pomona College
class of 1989.
Residency up at Kaiser Permanente in Hollywood,
and then I've been working at Kaiser Permanente
in Long Beach ever since,
and so I've been there about 22 years now.
Take the time to do volunteer work.
Take the time to shadow someone.
I mean I did some of that in high school,
but it's not quite the same,
being a volunteer and you know,
taking trays of food to patients,
and well the best thing is to do shadow.
Well that's something I'm involved in
where I happy to have any students
who want come by my office, sit with me for a couple hours,
half a day, see patients with me,
and kinda see this is what you're actually deal with
if you go into primary care.
And even if you go into a specialty field,
even something similar like this,
every specialty has a clinic
where they have to deal with that,
some more so than others.
