At the AMA, first we listen, then we discuss, then we formulate solutions and then we act. It was a good week! #AMA

So excited to end my year as the Betty Jane & Alfred J. Fisher Vascular Research Fellow by presenting our work at the @VascularSVS #VAM2023

My 7th AMA HoD Annual in the books! We passed policy on Medicare reform, child/adolescent mental health, effects of health system consolidation, non-compete clauses, and gun violence (to name a few). Honored & humbled to advocate alongside these wonderful physicians & students!
