Roshan Sapkota is currently a Firefighter/EMT and incoming medical student for the fall of 2024. He graduated from Brown University with high distinction and is a strong promoter of health equity both nationally and abroad.

He and his family immigrated from Nepal, escaping an unstable country amid a civil war. Juxtaposing the violence present in his upbringing, Roshan, with his Hindu ideals, is passionate about promoting peace and non-violence through improving health accessibility for all.

In an honor to this commitment, he has co-founded public health organizations, committed his time to volunteering, co-authored numerous papers, and participated in fellowship programs aimed at uncovering and solving healthcare inequity.
