There are no words for the loss and shock our CHOP family is feeling. Barbara embodied the best of all of us. Her memory will live on in each of us whose lives she touched.

Please keep her loved ones in your thoughts

I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off on some of these ED night shifts but last night I heard a heartfelt “thank you, doctor” and I couldn’t help but pause and let that sink in 🥹

🚨🚨 100% of the proceeds that LMSA receives from NLPD shirts will go towards scholarships to support Latina/o/x students with MCAT and Board prep services, as standardized exams are increasingly a barrier to diversifying medicine.

Last day to order! https://t.co/C3nNfjVYib

Reading In Shock by @RanaAwdish for my Peds palliative elective, and I’ve run through most of it in less than 24 hours 📖 This should be required reading in med schools. It has me reflecting on so much even within my early career. Can’t recommend it enough!!
