Had amazing time at the AMSSM conference. Left inspired after learning more about the advancements in sports medicine, connecting with mentors, and meeting great people throughout the weekend. Looking forward to Phoenix, AZ next year. #AMSSM2022

Top tier feeling of primary care: Hearing the excitement in your patients’ voice as you celebrate their improved A1c and cholesterol with diet and exercise. Never fails to motivate me #yallhealthyhealthy

Reason I love family medicine #476: you can learn to do midlines in the ICU while curb-siding colleagues questions on discharge, LARCs, and primary care doc recs for their teenage son (👋 @ChikeOkafor11)

What's better than coffee☕️ on a Monday morning?

A lecture with HARRIET WASHINGTON (@haw95)!

Have to plug her new book about #environmentalracism to y'all #medtwitter. It's already impacting the way I practice.
