I am applying to the Northern Ontario School of Medicine because I want to pursue a career in medicine wherein I use my position as a healthcare leader to advocate for marginalized and underrepresented communities locally and globally. I think that the Northern Ontario School of Medicine curriculum does a great to encourage student involvement in underrepresented communities in the healthcare field. Helping marginalized communities is very important to me morally, and because of my background. My grandparents fled our home country when war broke out. They left behind everything they knew, and had to start a new life enduring unimaginable difficulty. As refuges in a new country they did not have access to healthcare, or any government aid. People
