I am happy to report that yesterday the federal judge dismissed all claims without prejudice against UVA, UPG, and the 6 defendants (including me) finding no legal basis for the allegations. Justice has prevailed! Thank you to all who supported me through this journey.

In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both.

@PittSurgery is now the best residency program in the nation. True pioneers in ranking & matching the best with no discrimination.

5/7 of their matched interns are IMGs.

Programs that still "do not take IMGs" as categorical: time to step up & meet the 21st century!
