An outstanding morning for Day 2 of the #QHS EDI Forum. So impressed by the presentations from the working groups on outreach, admissions & research. Our students in particular are stars🌟. Feeling both challenged and charged up by the keynote from @DrIvanJoseph.
Last night before I intubated a lovely man with COVID, he insisted on calling his boss to explain why he wouldn’t be into work on Mon. He was so short of breath I had to finish the call for him. In the aftermath I realized how this job was a lifeline for him. It left me unnerved.
Help make @queensuhealth a better place for everyone.
Take the #Equity, #Diversity, & #Inclusion survey and be a part of the future of FHS.
Survey open today until May 25, 2021

✅ Vaccine confident + limited access
Reallocate vaccines to hotspots or people will die.

#Virtualteaching is not always easy, but somehow learning #nephrology was with such an exceptional teacher. Our class' little token of gratitude to Dr. Holland - as much as I love electrolytes, I think his reaction was the highlight of the block 😊 #ZoomSchoolofMedicine
