Up and down. There has been success and failures. Just when you think everything is going one way, life changes the path.
Anita Koshy, MD
Anita is from Albuquerque, NM and has always enjoyed science and math. In college she found a love of neuroscience.
Q&A With Anita
What has your path been like to where you are now?
LONG. Clinically 6 years, followed by 5 1/2 years as post doc. I loved basic science in college, but in med school when you have to spend a year long research, that confirmed that I wanted to be a physician scientist who ran a lab.

Q&A With Jose
