This initiative is part of Dr. Katina’s broader mission to make healthcare education more accessible and to increase representation in medical and wellness professions.

Reflecting on her work, Dr. Katina states, “I aspire to inspire others to transform into their higher capabilities. Health education should meet people where they are, and empower them to lead lives of wellness and purpose.”
