Bio

Armandeep Singh is a rising senior at the University of Toronto, pursuing a double major in Human Biology and Biochemistry, and aspires to become a physician. Originally from Punjab, India, he is passionate about medicine, education, mentorship, and helping others feel supported and capable. As a Scholar in Stanford’s Storytelling and Medicine Program’s Class of 2026, he is exploring the role of storytelling in medicine. His interest in storytelling comes from his own life experiences and from the people he has met through teaching, research, and community service. His participation in Yale’s Foundations of Bioethics program deepened his interest in clinical ethics, public health, and the human side of healthcare. His research interests include cardiovascular health in South Asian communities and the use of immersive virtual reality to make complex scientific concepts more accessible and engaging. Armandeep’s interest in medicine was also shaped by his father’s illness and recovery, which showed him the difference a compassionate physician can make in a family’s life. He hopes to become a physician who sees patients and their families as whole people shaped by their stories, circumstances, and lived experiences.
