Abstract

Finding meaning in this age of the burnout epidemic has become the latest obsession in clinical medicine. Many choose introspection, mindfulness, or mental health treatments to refuel their moral reserves, but research may also help to serve that goal. In this chapter, the author writes about his journey as an immigrant to the United States at 16, navigating the educational system to eventually attend Oxford and Harvard on full scholarships, and finding meaning through research.
