Nam Lai, M.D.

Medical School: St. George’s University School of Medicine, Grenada

Hobbies: I grew up in a rural area, where gardening with my grandmother sparked a lasting love for it. I unwind by sketching abstract and landscape art with ink. I enjoy reading fiction and fantasy for their imaginative worlds and unique perspectives. Socially, I love karaoke—even if my singing is better in the shower—and I’m always up for board games, mostly to enjoy time with friends.

Future Career Plan: I’m considering a geriatric fellowship after residency to address the growing need for specialized care in our aging population. Older adults often face complex health issues, yet there’s a shortage of geriatricians to meet these needs. I aim to provide comprehensive, long-term care that eases the emotional burden on patients and families, fostering partnerships where patients feel heard, cared for, and empowered to advocate for their health.

Hobbies: In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, woodworking—driven by my passion for creating—hunting, and spending quality time with my family. I’m also a car and motorcycle enthusiast and love taking road trips whenever I get the chance.

Future Career Plan: I am open to exploring all opportunities during my residency, but I am particularly drawn to Emergency Medicine and Hospitalist roles as potential paths for my future practice.
