Chinemerem Nwokemodo-Ihejirika

Hi everyone!

My name is Chinemerem and I'm thrilled to be part of the community. I was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. I attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst before spending 3 years as a clinical research coordinator at MGH. I’m a third-year medical student at HMS currently interested in either Anesthesiology or Internal Medicine. I’m especially passionate about how we can apply healthcare innovation to low- and middle-income countries.

Beyond medicine, I'm a big fan of live music, podcasts, and "hybrid training" (combining lifting and running). As a lifelong Chelsea supporter, I spend way too much time on football analytics, but until the Premier League calls, I’m happy to be here at Harvard. Come say hi if you want to talk global health, clinical rotations, applying to medical school as an international student, or soccer!
