Tsering Chu traded city life for stethoscopes and mountain roads after graduating this year, becoming one of Sawajiao Township’s few village doctors in Sichuan Province. Her choice? A trifecta of purpose: family, community, and heritage.
🌄 'I realized healing here means more than medicine,' she says, describing how elderly residents often walk hours for basic care. With only two clinics serving 15 villages, her return addresses a critical gap in rural healthcare access.
📚 Inspired by her grandmother’s stories of traditional Tibetan remedies, Tsering blends modern training with local wisdom. 'Our mountains hold cures we’re forgetting,' she notes, currently compiling oral health traditions into a digital archive.
💡 For young grads weighing career paths, her message cuts deep: 'Impact isn’t about zip codes. Sometimes, the bravest move is coming home.'
