I am deeply honored and proud to have delivered two oral presentations at AHA 2025, sharing our work with international leaders in cardiovascular medicine and contributing to the growing body of evidence that informs clinical practice and improves patient care. I am also grateful to have presented posters and participated in a moderated session, where the conversations with peers and faculty were both engaging and thought-provoking, further fueling my excitement for the future of our work in cardiology.

#AHA2025 also gave me the opportunity to meet new collaborators, reconnect with former colleagues and mentors, and I am truly excited about the future as I build on these relationships.

I am especially grateful to my program @ImWvu, and Mentors @Lakshmi14524052 @harshi_md for their continuous support.

Dr. Efe Okorigba, current PGY2, participated in the recent ACP Leadership Day in DC meeting.

During this event, the ACP focused on four core federal policy pillars aimed at improving patient care, enhancing physician compensation, and expanding the medical workforce.
