Jonathan Wakim, BS

I matriculated at Penn Med in 2019 after graduating from the University of Florida with a BA in Economics. I’m fascinated in digital health, specifically in using wearables and mixed reality technology for use in all domains of interventional radiology. My work in the PIGI lab has focused on finding use cases for the HoloLens for training, preprocedural planning, and intraoperative tools that can improve surgical workflow and outcomes. I have also helped construct a database which has given some insight into the various indications for port removals. I’m currently applying into the MD/MBA program where I'm hoping to combine my passion for medicine and innovation. Outside of school, you’ll find me at the gym, exploring the Philly restaurant/bar scene, and bleeding orange and blue on Saturdays and green on Sundays.
