CHRISTY CAPESTANY, DO, FAAP – Pediatric Insider News Editor
I am a general physician graduated in the Dominican Republic (Non-US IMG), with a deep passion for pediatric medicine and pediatric clinical research. While I am not currently in a pediatric residency program, I plan to apply for the match this year (I am not in a pediatric residency, yet). My husband and I recently moved to Mountain View, California, where he is a first-year pathology resident at Stanford Healthcare.
Currently, my main focus is on studying for the USMLE exams. I have already passed the first one and will be taking the second one soon. Additionally, I am actively seeking volunteer opportunities in clinical research, pediatric events, or any other roles related to the pediatric field.
