For who in the world should be the example of #humanity? It should be those who care for the sick & suffering. It should be us in #medicine.

A privilege to moderate this incredible panel of humanitarians working in #globalhealth @utsw_internalmedicine GR. Let them inspire & guide us to a more humane and compassionate 🌎

@vbluml @DrMarthaGulati @BiykemB @JCardFail @robmentz @dranulala @ShelleyZieroth @AndrewJSauer @jteerlinkmd @mvaduganathan @gcfmd @DrNasrien @KBreathettMD Great work! However the comment about no prevalence data in a northern and sub-Saharan Africa is not true (3.2). Check out THESUS-HF and INTER-CHF.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.”

We’ve said it time and time again but it always bears repeating: health care workers are heroes! The work never stops, and this pandemic isn’t over. We were roundtables a plenty today, and met with #DFW health care leaders to discuss conditions, solutions, and the future of care.

#Thread 1/
How does your selection committee (Med school, residency/fellowship, faculty) define MERIT?

Grades?
Test scores?
AOA membership?
Prestige of training program?
# of NIH grants?

Try this: define merit based on what you want them to achieve.

[Quinn Capers, IV @DrQuinnCapers4]
