Background

About Patrick Tolosky

A passion for learning has continually driven me to seek out new experiences, evidenced by living in Peru and Spain for long periods of time. What made me successful in such unfamiliar environments was my leadership experience, starting in the Boy Scouts of America, continuing in captain roles on high school sports teams, and persisting throughout my extracurricular activities at Bates. My long-standing inclination to challenge myself highlights my goal-oriented mindset, dedication to the community, resilience while performing difficult tasks, and cultural competency. Immersion in different fields of study and contexts has also continued to shape my interdisciplinary perspective with regard to topics from environmental sustainability to the delivery of healthcare. At my core, I believe nature has a profound impact on physical, mental, and spiritual health in both a preventative and therapeutic manner, and engagement with nature has been and will be a critical aspect of my life journey. I hope to focus these passions into a career as a physician, starting with my journey at Dartmouth in the fall of 2017.
