Angel Sheu

I'm a medical student at TCU's Burnett School of Medicine with a background as a paramedic — before starting medical school, I treated hundreds of patients for opioid overdoses in Denver and Philadelphia. That experience now drives my research and community work around naloxone access and prehospital care.
