Some trivia about Dr. Pham:

• Between undergraduate and medical school, he volunteered for the Peace Corps and was stationed in The Gambia for a little over a year where he taught math and science in a rural village. Also as a point of trivia, he contracted malaria while he was there. Luckily, he survived.
• He enjoys reading classic Greek and Roman literature. His favorite classical works include Lives by Plutarch and The History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides. His fascination with the topic led him to take Ancient Greek, instead of Spanish, to fulfill the foreign language requirement as an undergraduate at UCLA.
