  Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society

  Jun 2022 - now

  Member of Sigma Xi Scientific Research Honor Society

  Sigma Xi is the world's largest research honor society. It is an international, multidisciplinary organization for research scientists and engineers. Over the course of the Society's distinguished history, more than 200 members have won the Nobel Prize, and many more have earned election to the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Engineering.One of the proud moments of my career is being recognized for my devotion to my specialty and contributions to science and research. After being selected to become a member, I expanded my professional network and started actively participating in the advocacy program for scientific research and education. This experience showed me the height I have set to achieve in the nearest future and awarded me with a new skill- the skill of not being afraid to fall before I can rise.As a member, I commit to pursuing excellence along with equally motivated colleagues, to voice concerns and offer direction with informed evidence on critically important issues nationally and beyond, and embrace every opportunity to "pay it back" through mentorship and support of the medical profession.
