Ms. Baskaran believes in preventive medicine and continuity of care for helping ensure her patients have healthy, long lives. She says, "I decided at a young age that I wanted to be involved in the field of medicine. Before attending school for my physician assistant studies, I volunteered in nursing homes and a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). During that time, I met and worked with physician assistants and physicians who impressed me with their outstanding, compassionate care. The experience strengthened my resolve to become part of a medical team."
