She didn't choose medicine, medicine chose her.

Dr. Allen has overcome nearly every single hurdle thrown at her to achieve her goals of becoming a doctor, but her trajectory doesn't end there. She wants more; more Black doctors, nurses, and administrators. Not only that, but she wants to lead by example, where it all started...
