This vanderbiltheart Interventional 🫀 fellow reminded me of something special. When he was a student he cold-DM’d me looking for advice, we talked for hrs, & he was inspired to go into IC. Now, he’s headed to his 1st job. I said “Now U go do the same!” #BlackMenInMedicine ✊🏾

Back to Back Visiting Professorships to encourage colleagues Vanderbilt School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins Medicine to stand strong in this era of anti-DEI backlash. The evidence is in our side: a more diverse physician workforce will result in better medical care, research, and more lives saved.
