Medicine seemed a likely career path for TH Tran, a 2017 Transylvania University graduate, given her academic bent and how many of her extended family members were physicians. Her father, however, was aware of her broader interests, and suggested she major in accounting. So she did. But she also decided to pursue a pre-med path.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her adviser cautioned that the challenging dual track had been done only once before, Tran remembers replying, “It’s going to be good. I think business is an area where doctors could have a better understanding of what’s going on. So I want to do better at that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already sensing the value of gaining knowledge in multiple disciplines, Tran says she was intent on exploring and experiencing as much as possible. \u201cEducation is power. But it\u2019s not just what\u2019s in the textbook. It\u2019s applying it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, Tran took full advantage of campus organizations, leadership opportunities and the easy proximity to real-world experience in the field of medicine. As president of Transy\u2019s Pre-Health Club, she invited speakers to campus who represented an array of health-related careers, not just practitioners, in order to explore a broader perspective. \u201cThat had a hand in my own personal growth,\u201d she notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And each new medical-related internship or shadowing experience seemed to push Tran to commit further to addressing the structural deficiencies within the health care system. Too often, she says, she found doctors and patients appreciative of aspects of their work or care, but extremely frustrated by the system. When her sorority sisters asked what she planned to do with her life, she recognized it was something different from treating patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told them I\u2019d be running the hospital,\u201d she says, realizing that she wanted to make a difference at the structural level. She was eager to learn as much as she could absorb in order to better understand why the system wasn\u2019t working and where the decisions were being made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of her liberal arts experience, and as a senior just shy of minors in chemistry and art history, Tran chose to study abroad for a semester at Regent\u2019s University in London. She developed her independence amid myriad cultures, discovering a sense of adventure and love of travel that she realized would be integral to her future and to leading a fulfilled life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt changed the course of my decision-making and my life from that point,\u201d she recalls. The need to explore, she adds, \u201cis in line with the Transy spirit. Being a lifelong learner isn\u2019t only about what you know and your field of study, but being able to incorporate other aspects into your specialty.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she graduated magna cum laude from Transylvania, Tran decided to take a year to explore medical schools. At the same time she earned online certificates of achievement in biochemistry, immunology, physiology and genetics through Harvard Medical School’s HMX Fundamentals. She also worked as an assistant medical manager of a suboxone clinic, further intensifying her desire to find ways to improve the system. \u201cThat\u2019s when I started interviewing for business schools as well as medical schools,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of Michael Cronk at Transy\u2019s Center for Academic and Professional Excellence, she identified the ideal dual program. It would allow her to graduate with an MBA and master\u2019s degree in hospital administration from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health and the Carlson School of Management. She chose the top-tier programs for their quality and proximity to Medical Alley in Minneapolis, an international hub for medical and technological innovation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on the ongoing role of the liberal arts throughout her journey, Tran describes the importance of being open to different ideas, and then integrating them into her work. \u201cIt\u2019s been huge for me,\u201d she says. \u201cI can\u2019t tell you how many times I\u2019ve explained things in terms of physics for people to understand. I don\u2019t tell them it\u2019s physics, but I use physics a lot,\u201d she continues. \u201cAccounting was always handy in science as well because of the organization that it brings. And I still read up on organic chemistry because it helps me to interact better with providers here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tran is quick to make the connection between the value of the liberal arts, with its study of the human experience, and the relationship between culture and public health that she finds especially compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCulture is so important in understanding public health and is embedded in the solution of health care problems,\u201d she explains, emphasizing the importance of recognizing cultural distinctions and their history \u2014 particularly in those communities that suffer the most disparities in health care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with Native American, Somali and Hmong communities in the Twin Cities area taught her the importance of history and understanding aspects of their culture when developing solutions. Tran points to a finance project she did studying rates of obesity and diabetes within Native American communities. She focused mostly on food-related solutions. Fry bread, for example, a delicious deep fried dough was introduced as a cheap staple and as a means of survival. “Food and food history are very much intertwined with public health,\u201d says Tran. \u201cAnd in developing new and innovative solutions, we need to make a return to understanding culture.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Tran considers her long-term career path, she hopes to be in a role where there is an intersection of innovation, health care delivery and culture. She wants her work to impact not only the people receiving care, but also those delivering it and the system as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is my goal,\u201d she says, \u201cand that\u2019s why I wanted to be in medical innovation. I think that\u2019s where more of this exciting work can be done, because that\u2019s where the people who are motivated to do it will be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, as she begins her new job in research and development for UnitedHealth Group, she hopes her story might help other Pioneers who are not yet certain of their direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy path was not straightforward and was not what I was expecting,\u201d she\u2019d like them to know, \u201cbut I\u2019m happier than I\u2019ve ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
