It’s happening! 🤩The first meeting of University of Miami Miller Medicine ALCSI chapter going on now. The American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative is a grassroots organization of college and medical students working to increase awareness of and access to #lungcancerscreening. Glad







Excited to be with our amazing ALCSI & MGH teams at the Joseph R. Betancourt Health fair with James ‘Jimmy’ Hills. Congrats to Dr. Rick Lee (Rick Lee 이재방) for putting on such a great event!! It’s still happening right now (ends at 3pm, Roxbury Community College, building 3).






Loved meeting the The University of Chicago ALCSI members Natalie and Rico this month at #ASCO25 to discuss the importance of #lungcancerscreening . The future is bright when we have wonderful young people who are trying to make it better. #lcsm Jeff Yang MD FACS
