Medical Resident, UCSF Medical Center
Nathaniel Gleason talks about his challenges growing up being visually impaired and how this important life experience now shapes his work as a physician. Gleason first pursued a career as a professional musician. But with time on the road, he came to the realization that he would rather make a meaningful mark in medicine. He graduated from the UCSF School of Medicine in 2008 with the prestigious Gold-Headed Cane Award, recognition from his peers as having qualities of a true physician. He continues his training as a resident at UCSF Medical Center and plans to practice general medicine.
