Collective action has the power to make important change in the field of medicine! Thank you to all of the amazing people who fought relentlessly for this. Cheers to a small, but important victory in the fight for a more racially just healthcare system!

This is Aaliyah Gonzalez. She turned 18 years old on April 12th. She deserved better. She deserved to live. She deserved to grow old. A coward took her life. Now the world will never know all the great things she would’ve accomplished. Pray for her family and pray for our city 🙏🏾

I feel so blessed to have such good human beings as co-workers. This is what matters in a residency program. Not the prestige. Not the case volume. Not the call schedule. 2/2

This past week I lost my grandmother and my FIL started hospice. Navigating loss and illness as a resident is unimaginably hard, but I have been blown away by the support from my co-residents. From picking up call shifts, to switching my vacation, to making sure I eat. 1/2

**New Kidney Transplant Policy Alert** As of January 5, 2023 all US kidney transplant centers are REQUIRED to review which Black patients have had a race-based #eGFR equation used for #kidney waitlisting. If used, their waitlist times will be modified. https://t.co/x1CBoETvLz

@MonicaHahnMD @oni_blackstock Thanks Dr. Hahn!! Wouldn't have been able to do any of it without the guidance and inspiration from you and many others! Hope you're well too!

@AdairaLandryMD (1) Getting an epidural during labor is not a personal failure. They're safe for you & baby. (2) Get vaccinated against HPV & don't skip Pap smears. (3) If you're in significant pain during sex or find sex unsatisfying tell your OBGYN. It's an important aspect of your health.

He taught me to listen with the purpose of hearing, to touch with the purpose of healing. He taught me how to be a doctor. An immeasurable loss to the @VUmedicine community and the world. He will live on in every student he taught and every patient they heal.

Grand rounds led by @DorothyERoberts was absolutely incredible. Even just seeing you virtually was a dream come true! Now that my co-intern @annienapple and I are at Penn, how about a collab?? We want to build on our work eliminating race in eGFR at our last institution.
