Usually I don’t talk about stuff like this because frankly it happens way too often. But not today…

As I pulled into the same faculty parking lot that I park in all the time @msstate, a white woman was coming out of my office building. Her car was parked next to the space I pulled into.

I participated in this trip back in 2013 (Whoa…😳) and it was amazing.

This was the trip that convinced me to go into medicine. Glad to see it’s still changing lives and going strong! Shoutout to Dr. Vo

Led by Dr. Ha Van Vo, the Mercerians fit local residents with 928 prosthetic legs and hands and helped nearly 2,600 orthopedic patients. #MercerInspire (2/2)

We want to congratulate our Nth Dimensions Alumni PGY4’s who matched into Fellowships this week.

We continue to root for you as you complete residency this next year and embark on the next step of your medical journey.

Congratulations!

[Dr. Chels @Muktab_]

There are people working VERY HARD to get rid of the progress in diversity in higher education made over the past few decades. We were just starting to change what medicine, tech, law, etc looks like. They said nope, get them up out of here.
