Hi, I’m Dr. Kai, a Combined Internal Medicine–Pediatrics resident physician with over 17 years of experience in nursing, clinical practice, academic teaching, and healthcare leadership.

Before medical school, I practiced as a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, served as a military nurse, and currently hold an appointment as an Assistant Professor of Nursing. My academic background includes advanced training from Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania, along with dual bachelor’s degrees in Nursing and Biology, and graduate degrees in public health and healthcare management.

I passed USMLE Step 1 on my first attempt and scored 250+ on Step 2, and I specialize in helping students master high-stakes exams through strategy, structure, and confidence-building; not just content review.

I tutor:
• NP/PA Board Exam Prep
• USMLE Step 1 & Step 2
• Medical School Application & ERAS Strategy
• Career Transition & Healthcare Entrepreneurship Coaching

If you’re serious about leveling up, academically or professionally, I’ll help you build a clear plan and execute it.

Let’s get to work.
