Nikita Agarwal is a first-year medical student at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. She received both her bachelor's degree in biochemistry and biophysics and her master's degree in chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. In college, she was deeply involved in advocating for global health issues, such as Neglected Tropical Diseases, and coordinating a free clinic in West Philadelphia that provided care for the uninsured. Upon returning to her hometown of Dallas for graduate school, Agarwal continued her work in increasing access to health care by managing one of UT Southwestern's free clinics--The Monday Clinic. Her work with the uninsured has inspired her to look into more policy-oriented solutions to lack of access to care in the United States and globally. In the future, Agarwal hopes to pursue a career in academic medicine, using her experience in the Archer Fellowship to become a better patient advocate to lawmakers in the future.
