For his clinical specialty, Frederick Joseph Goodson-Gregg is considering pursuing Psychiatry.
About Me
I grew up on a farm in Iowa. Both my parents played music and were artists, and while I don't play music, I really love it. I've always had cats, originally they were barn cats on my farm. I brought my favorite barn cat Mr. Rogers to Texas, and love having him around. Sometimes he gets to go for walks.
Hobbies/Interests
When I get the chance, I enjoy traveling abroad. But most commonly you can find me hiking and enjoying the outdoors (whenever weather allows). I also love tasty chicken, and enjoy Pollos Asados Los Nortenos, Wayne's Wings, and Pasha.
Research Topic
Neuroimaging methods
Why I chose MD/PhD
I choose MD/PhD because I believe the training will give me the knowledge and resilience needed to contribute meaningfully to others through research and patient care. Now I hope to combine my interest in helping patients with psychiatric issues with my research interest of neuroimaging methods.
Why I chose MD/PhD at 91PORN
Dr. Cavazos regularly spoke with me throughout my application process, and was a key reason for me wanting to come to Texas. My interactions with the program administrators, namely Jennifer and Alyssa, also were very positive and set UTHSCSA apart.
