Medical Student
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
My name is Alina Kang and I am a second year medical student at the University of Miami. I am originally from Tokyo, Japan, but grew up in the Bay Area in Cupertino, California. I obtained my B.S. degree in cognitive science and general biology at the University of California, San Diego. Before attending medical school, I took two gap years during which I was a caregiver for residents in the memory care unit of a senior home, a hospice volunteer, a tutor for students with special needs and volunteer at a homeless shelter. I have enjoyed exploring the many things to do in Florida and I am very excited to continue my journey as a medical student in Miami. My current specialty interests include oncology, neurology and general surgery.
