Two Sets of Twin Doctors Graduate from Loma Linda University

LOMA LINDA, CA— Two sets of twins from the Inland Empire are now doctors after graduating from Loma Linda University (LLU.)

Twin sisters Lauren and Karen Bathan grew up in Loma Linda. Their parents are also LLU alums: their mother, a nurse practitioner, and their father, a physical therapy assistant. “Although our parents first influenced us to have a healthcare career, we decided to become doctors to lead patient care,” Lauren said.

Similarly, twin brothers Christopher and Luis Chan attended LLU School of Pharmacy after graduating from the University of California, Riverside with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology.

Originally from Chino, they are the first in their family to attend college. “We knew in high school we wanted to become doctors,” Luis said. “After volunteering at Pomona Valley Medical Center in college, we knew pharmacy was the right career path for us.”
