Gregory Hunt

Hello! I’m Gregory Hunt, and my journey in medicine has been shaped by my many cultures and experiences. I was born in Sicily, Italy, but relocated to Florida during elementary school which quickly helped me warm up to Orlando as my new home. I graduated from the University of Central Florida and am currently a Caribbean medical student at Saint James School of Medicine. In addition to my medical studies, I am also working towards an MBA because I believe that physicians need to appreciate how to care for patients while also understanding and improving the intricate systems of healthcare. Living right next to Disney has made me a self proclaimed disney adult and I wear that with pride. To me, Disney isn’t just a theme park, it stands as a representation of imagination, hope, and the dreams of seemingly impossible feats. I strive to bring that same sense of magic and optimism into my approach to medicine, fostering hope and endless possibilities for my colleagues and patients. My greatest passion is mental health. I strongly believe in dismantling the stereotypes associated with mental illness and providing care that is both kind and complete. I firmly believe that mental health is the cornerstone of overall well-being, and I want to be at the forefront of changing how we approach mental health care.

I’m also passionate about research and storytelling. I am currently working on projects that explore behavior change and sleep in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, and I hope to become a published author. Through my writing, I aim to advocate for mental health awareness and share stories that inspire understanding and change within the medical community and beyond.

AMSA represents a community where future doctors can grow as leaders and advocates, committed to equity and innovation in healthcare. Looking ahead, I hope to serve as both a psychiatrist and a published author, using my voice and skills to advance mental health care and champion a more empathetic, inclusive future in medicine.
