Armaan Singh is entering Booth as a MD/MBA student, having completed 3 years of medical school at UChicago's Pritzker School of Medicine. Before Pritzker, he spent 1.5 years doing healthcare consulting at the Boston Consulting Group. After BCG, he worked on the growth strategy team at Oak Street Health. His time at Oak Street showed me how physicians can work with business and data science leaders to change the way we deliver care. It also solidified his goal to become a physician leader and represent the interests of patients and providers in the business of healthcare.

He plans to complete residency and then work at the cutting edge of care delivery.

Gary Wang worked as an analyst at Aledade, a company helping independent primary care practices and community health centers to succeed in value-based care. Then he matriculated to the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, where he completed my first three years of medical school and led research focusing on alternative payment models and diabetes care innovations. He also became an inaugural Investment Fellow at Town Hall Ventures, a healthcare VC firm dedicated to investing in care solutions for vulnerable populations. These core experiences shaped his desire to become a physician-innovator working at the intersection of medicine, business, and policy to create a more equitable and effective healthcare system, particularly for underserved populations.

He plans to finish medical school and pursue residency training to become a primary care physician. Afterwards, he hopes to build a career that involves practicing medicine and leading healthcare systems transformation through industry and public sector work.
