“The past eight years have been extraordinary,” Bercu said. A graduate of Emory’s medical school, Bercu spent a year in Israel, where he became fluent in Hebrew. He completed his residency in New York, part of the last intern class at St. Vincent’s, whose “hospital infrastructure crumbled around me,” he remembered of the facility, which closed in 2010. Now a resident at Mount Sinai in radiology, Bercu plans to complete a fellowship in interventional radiology, a form of “micro-surgery.”

From his undergraduate years, “whether through Facebook or in person,” Bercu says he “took with me some of the greatest friendships one could have.”
