My name is Linda My Huynh and I am a current MD/PhD scholar at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. I received my MSc in Biomedical and Translational Science from the University of California, Irvine in 2018 and my PhD in Patient Oriented Research from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2024.
My research interests date back to 2015, where I began my employment as a career clinical researcher in the Ahlering lab in the Department of Urology at the University of California, Irvine. My research interests began in outcomes research, questionnaire development and validation, and statistical modeling; now, this has grown to encompass machine learning, artificial intelligence, computational science, and radiomics. This ultimately led to my PhD dissertation on "The Development, Validation, and Diagnostic Performance of a Novel Radiomic Model for Predicting Prostate Cancer Recurrence".
Now, after nearly ten years of experience in urology, I am applying to the Urology 2026 Match. As I consider residency, I find myself prioritizing programs that reflect my journey thus far: one that values the resilience of a first-generation Vietnam War refugee background, serves diverse communities with similar challenges, champions patient-centered research to improve quality of life, and fosters the growth of future surgeon-scientists committed to academic discovery and compassionate care.
