Dealla Samadi

Career goals: I came into medical school convinced that I’d pursue a career in geriatrics, but I am not so sure anymore! I am curious about cardiology, and would love to care for the human heart, but am keeping an open mind!

Favorite place to grab a drink in Lexington: Not an alcoholic drink but I love the Weekly Juicery!

Favorite place to grab food in Lexington: Pho BC

Favorite thing about living in Lexington: I love the personality that can be found in every corner of the city, the country roads and the farms, and especially the sunsets!

Best coffee shop in Lexington: Martine’s Pastries

Best doughnut in Lexington: Spalding’s Bakery

Your go-to weekend getaway: The horse farm!

Favorite memory of residency so far: I have loved my meaningful patient experiences of course! I also had a great time during my wards night shifts, when my fellow residents and I set up a table and painted canvases to decorate the workroom. We ate snacks, listened to music, and had a lot of fun!

Dream non-medical career: While I couldn’t imagine doing anything else, if I had more time, I would add on working in an art exhibit or working as a florist.
