Dr. Sarang Choi’s path is a true example of resilience and adaptability. A Korean citizen who grew up in the Philippines, studied in the U.S., and completed medical school in the Philippines, Sarang now continues her journey as a PGY-2 Internal Medicine resident. Her story reflects the determination and global perspective that so many IMGs bring to the residency process.
