Nationality: Dutch
"I joined ONCOS during the first year of my studies, and quickly realized the vastness and complexity of oncology. I began to recognize that very little emphasis is placed on oncology during the study — which inspired to become part of board. I am excited about the opportunity to help other students gain more exposure and understanding of oncology.”
