🚨🚨 Reminder that dreams do come true!!🚨🚨
I wanted to share with everyone that I matched into Neurology at UCSF. 🌞🌈🌊
Feeling extremely blessed and grateful for all of the amazing mentors and friends that neurology has gifted me so far. I couldn't have done it without you
Couldn’t be more excited about joining the @BrighamMedRes family
Thankful for all the support from mentors to get here, the UCSF residents/attendings who inspired me, and even thankful for the onboarding email that already came in 😂
Here’s to the next chapter & having a job 🎉
What an absolute privilege.
I matched to my #1 choice program @BrighamWomens@BrighamMedRes!
So much gratitude for all my mentors, friends, & family who made this possible.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Wow! I matched into #neurosurgery at @BrownNSGY! This has been a long journey from a Big Ten undergrad (Go Bucks!) to an HBCU med school (H-U!) to the Ivy League for residency. I’m super excited to see where the road ahead takes me. Thank you to my village that got me here 💜

I didn’t match last year. I thought my red flags were the end of me: I stopped med school twice. I wanted to give up. I was nearing my 40s and I wanted to move on with my life. My parents and friends told me not to, and I knew I had more to give. So I applied again. #MatchDay2024
With God Anything is Possible 🙏🏽 I’ll be training as a Cardiothoracic Surgeon Resident at @UscCardiac . Thank you for everyone that’s been there through the process ✊🏾 #matchday2024

Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is now tuition-free thanks to a $1 billion gift from Dr. Ruth Gottesman, a former professor.
Gottesman, whose late husband was an early investor with Warren Buffett, has made it a condition of the gift that the college NOT change its name—an unusual requirement in a world where much smaller gifts often come with the requirement that the colleges be named after the donor.
Most students at the Einstein College of Medicine graduate with $200,000 in debt; they will now be free of that burden.

What an honor to speak to these do future scientists, nurses, and doctors this morning 😊
Sharing with them my own path, I hope it resonates with them so they can continue to match their intelligence with grit and compassion 😊
Invest in people! The future is bright.

My newest blog post is about this harmful phenomenon: patient blaming. If you have been blamed for your medical condition (chances are you have been), I hope you find some comfort in this story. #AskThePatient
