The new knowledge could revolutionize the field of oncology and hematology and eventually most fields in medicine. We now have a way to understand why we are different as individuals and that gives us the opportunity to intervene to alter the natural course of disease. This has rejuvenated my curiosity and passion for taking care of cancer patients. ### Professional highlights President-New Hope Chinese Cancer Care Foundation, Healthbridge International- mentoring physicians from China. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, Dr. Tai enjoys traveling, art appreciation and food. ## Education and training **Medical school:** Albert Einstein College of Medicine **Internship:** Harbor-UCLA Medical Center **Residency:** Harbor-UCLA Medical Center **Fellowship:** Harbor UCLA Medical Center, Medical Oncology and Hematology ## Board certifications -
