Hi #MedTwitter!
I'm thrilled to apply for an IM residency to continue my journey in holistic care, research, and advocacy for underserved communities as an IMG from 🇵🇪. I'm eager to connect with everyone! @AAPPHealth#Match2025. You'll find me biking if I am not with patients
Well it only took me until my last month of PGY-1 to decide on which fellowship I plan on pursuing 😅 I am happy to say that I have decided on applying #HemeOnc for next year’s fellowship match. I am very excited to learn more about this vast field and connect 😊🩸
Humbled and incredibly grateful for the recognition “Clinical Skills and Scholarship” Award 🏆
It’s been an amazing first year in residency. Couldn’t be more grateful to belong to @CookCountyIMR.

You are seeing a patient recently diagnosed with heart failure and started on GDMT. You notice that their hemoglobin (HGB) has increased (12 → 13 g/dL) in the intervening weeks.
🤔Which medication is the likely cause of this increase in HGB?
Fascinating and inspiring noon report at @CookCtyHealth
