Andre Thien Vu
Graduate, Medicine, School of Medicine
BioMy name is Andre Vu, and I am currently an MS1 at Stanford School of Medicine. Growing up in Little Saigon as a child of Vietnamese refugees, I have always felt deeply connected to my cultural heritage and community. This background has fueled my passion for addressing health disparities, particularly in underserved populations.
My interests lie in improving health disparities and fostering innovation within the healthcare sector. I believe that finding creative solutions and equitable resource distribution are crucial for improving health outcomes in marginalized communities. Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I have a deep love for cooking Vietnamese cuisine. It is a way for me to stay connected to my roots and share my culture with others. I also enjoy expressing my creativity through painting and sculpting, which provide a wonderful balance to my studies and allow me to unwind.
I am committed to using my medical education to meaningfully impact healthcare accessibility and quality, and I am excited to be part of a future where every individual has the opportunity to achieve optimal health.
