It’s official. I’m getting my 2nd honorary doctorate from my 2nd home… @UMBC 💛🖤
Honored to be among the 6, including @KafuiDzirasa & @KSadtler.
My speech is “Stop to Smell the Roses” - A pandemic lesson I learned too late. https://t.co/lakhq4UqfV
I've already learned so much @recomb2022 and am excited for the opportunity to present the work I did at IGS last summer tomorrow! Thanks to the U-RISE program for sponsoring my travels here.
Last night, a younger patient arrived with abdominal pain, chest pain, and shortness of breath. While assessing, the patient began to appear more and more pale with each moment. "I tested + with two at home tested, but I have an IUD." VS=HR 150 BP 80/40
I sounded an alarm.

Glad to see Dr. Ashby, UMBC's next president, is enjoying what will be her new view at #UMBC starting August 1! And you know it wouldn't be a visit with President Hrabowski without a quick selfie.
Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing photos + updates from Alternative Spring Break (ASB). Here, our ASB leaders & @CivicLifeUMBC staff members prepare for the program's Orientation, where participants will meet each other and learn more about the six-day learning journey ahead.
Save the date for the 2022 CCMA Service-Learning and Civic Engagement Conference!
"Our Unfinished Work: Creating Equity through Service-Learning and Civic and Community Engagement" will take place virtually April 5th and 6th.
More details to come!
y'all... i've had wilderness first responder training where there is a big focus on treating hypothermia. it is terrifying. you move someone too much, they die. warm them up too fast, they die.
if you find an unhoused neighbor with severe hypothermia, you need to call 911.
How can leaders communicate effectively about health matters in a time of deep division? Join our next Change Makers Dinner for conversations with local leaders addressing this challenge (11/3, 5 - 7 p.m.). https://t.co/iAFoherjxT
Open to @UMBC students, faculty, staff, & alums.
Medical students and especially premedical students going abroad to developing nations on “medical mission trips” so they can “do more” clinically is unethical IMO
My department is doing a "privilege walk" as a DEI activity. It's embarrassing that folks still think this activity is a useful learning tool.
Not only is this bad pedagogy, but it's also harmful to folks with marginalized identities and experiences. My oppression is not a game.
I am currently working in a high school clinic. You would think that my biggest concern would be COVID right now, and you'd be right... but there is another problem that sits in the shadow of that menace, and it's just as destructive, but no one seems to be noticing...
