Personal immigration journey inspires resident to explore careers in refugee/immigrant care
When she was 13 years old, Chelsey Lim, MD, boarded a plane that took her from her home country of South Korea to her grandparents’ town of Moorestown, NJ. Several years later, she recalled her own experience with immigration when she tutored teen and young adult refugees through her university’s afterschool tutoring program. Lim is now a first-year resident at Mass General for Children, where she is exploring career paths that focus on caring for refugees in hospitals and through community health centers.
