Join us in congratulating our new Student DO of the Month, OMSIV, Justin Chang!
Read what his peers had to say:
"Justin Chang embodies what it means to be not just an outstanding student but an exceptional human being. His dedication to helping others, whether patients, peers, friends, or mentees, is unwavering and deeply genuine. No matter how busy he is, Justin is always ready to help. Whether it’s walking answering late-night SOS messages or offering guidance during clinical challenges, he shows up fast, prepared, and kind.
What sets Justin apart is not just his intelligence or work ethic but the way he uplifts everyone around him. He’s the first to celebrate others’ wins, big or small. When someone is struggling, he’s right there with encouragement, perspective, and practical help. If you’re in trouble, Justin doesn’t stop at offering words of support. He actively works to solve the problem, connecting you to the right resources and even advocating on your behalf. He doesn't just care, he acts.
His warmth and friendliness make him approachable to everyone. Whether you’re a first-year feeling overwhelmed or a peer who’s hit a rough patch, Justin makes you feel seen, heard, and supported. He creates a culture of mutual respect and compassion wherever he goes, and he inspires those around him to be better teammates, friends, and future physicians.
In short, Justin is the kind of person who makes the hard days lighter and the good days even better. For his relentless generosity, dependability, and unwavering heart, Justin Chang deserves Student of the Month."
"I think that Justin is an incredible mentor who always takes the time to help others even when he himself is busy. He is reliable, kind and trustworthy to a fault. He has made constant effort to check-in with his companions and provide guidance for the next generation of students. He is like a torch lighting the way for those of us in the dark to follow."
"I’m happy to nominate Justin as SDOM! He’s always supportive and genuinely wants everyone around him to do well. He goes out of his way to share helpful notes, resources, and tips—especially with the class of 2027. If he hears about an opportunity, he passes it along and encourages others to get involved too. Whether it’s offering advice, study help, or offering encouragement when it’s needed the most, he’s looking out for others and ready to help however he can."
