Rajka makes learning interesting, fun, and easy (well, easier!). During the year I had the great fortune of working alongside her in functional medicine, I was a newbie, coming from traditional medicine, and it was like learning a brand new language. Rajka's door was ALWAYS open, even if she was with a patient, knee-deep in work, or on her way out the door. Not only would she graciously and willingly let me barge in and ask questions – anything from the simple to the incredibly complex – she did it with the patience of a saint and in language, she tailored to the recipient's skill level. She also led several of our practitioners' meetings, where we would either dive into a specific topic/segment of medicine/illness/ailment or discuss case studies. Rajka's leadership and wide scope of both knowledge and experience speak to her passion for medicine and teaching, and her eagerness to help us all become our best selves. Now that we are separated by many states, and practicing different styles of medicine, I truly miss the opportunities to learn from Rajka. It is a blessing and privilege to call her a mentor. Do not walk, but RUN for the chance to work with Rajka!
