Payal Rath, M.B.B.S.
PGY5
I was born and raised in India and completed my medical school there. I moved to New Jersey for my Internal Medicine residency in 2020. I decided Infectious Disease is the right career path for me in PGY2 and haven't looked back since! I chose ID because it is a specialty that always keeps you on your toes and almost never gets boring - you need to keep evolving as the bugs do! I have a specific interest in Global Health and Tropical Medicine and chose UConn Health because of the opportunity to explore that with their Uganda/GH track. Outside of work , I enjoy swimming, cooking and reading fiction-thriller novels. I also consider myself a pop culture fiend and lover of all things Taylor Swift!
