Nico Martinez, a fourth-year medical student at the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU, is using his personal experiences with serious accidents to better understand and support patients facing medical emergencies. During medical school, Martinez was hit by a truck, survived an ATV accident in Bali, and suffered injuries in a motorcycle accident, giving him firsthand experience as an emergency room patient. These experiences have strengthened his ability to connect with patients, remain calm during stressful situations, and provide reassurance as he works toward a career in emergency medicine.
