Mentor Shares His Passion for Learning
January 11, 2021, 12:08 pm David Mitchell After Emmanuel Kenta-Bibi, M.D., M.P.H., M.S.M.Ed., M.B.A., graduated from medical school in 1997, he worked as a general practitioner in his native Cameroon for three years. When he decided to immigrate to the United States seeking “greener pastures,” he knew it would mean giving up his practice and resuming his training.
“It’s different there,” he said. “You’re a GP when you graduate, and you go straight into the trenches, caring for patients, delivering babies and performing general surgery. It was extremely hard to start over, but once you’re determined to do something, you have to keep working at it and look at your ultimate goal. I knew learning more would benefit me in the future.”
